Summary - 14 BORDER ROAD LONDON SE26 6HB
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Large period house with huge garden and scope to extend, needing renovation..
Detached double-fronted family home with large carriage driveway and garage
A spacious double-fronted detached family home in the sought Lawrie Park Triangle, set back behind a carriage driveway and garage. The house offers generous living space across multiple reception rooms, a large kitchen/diner, and a mature rear garden of approximately 95'2 x 60'0 (29m x 18.3m) — rare for this part of Sydenham.
This substantial period property (approx. 2,402 sq ft) retains character features such as bay windows, a fireplace and stained glass, but it needs renovation throughout. There is scope to extend subject to necessary planning consents, offering clear potential to increase living space or reconfigure the layout for modern family living.
Practical benefits include off-street parking for several cars, garage, double glazing, mains gas heating and easy access to good local schools, parks and transport links (Sydenham, Penge West and Penge East). Note factual drawbacks: the property requires refurbishment, solid brick walls likely lack insulation, council tax is described as quite expensive and the area scores as deprived in local statistics.
In short, this is a large, characterful freehold family home with strong extension and improvement potential for buyers looking to create a long-term family house in Upper Sydenham rather than a move-in-perfect finish.
