Set within the Thorpes Conservation Area, this three-bedroom Edwardian conversion blends period character with practical living. High ceilings, four working fireplaces and a large bay window create strong original charm, while an open-plan kitchen/living area leads directly to a private garden — an unusual find for a conversion.
The flat totals approximately 1,023 sq ft over a multi-storey layout, with an en suite plus separate bathroom. Chain free and sitting on a long lease of 955 years, the property offers straightforward purchase logistics. EPC rating C and mains gas central heating provide reasonable running costs; council tax is described as affordable.
Location is a key draw: Sydenham mainline station and frequent buses are nearby, Mayow Park is a short walk away and a wide range of shops, cafes and amenities line the vibrant local high street. Several well-regarded state and independent schools lie close by, making this a practical family choice.
A few practical points are important to note: the building is solid brick and likely lacks cavity wall insulation (assumed), which may affect heating efficiency despite the EPC C. The property is leasehold with a small ground rent (£10, unclear review date). The wider area shows some local deprivation indicators and average crime levels — useful to check against personal priorities. Overall, this is a characterful, well-located home with potential to update and personalise.
