Summary - 13 BISHOPSTHORPE ROAD LONDON SE26 4NY
5 bed 1 bath House
Spacious period house backing onto leafy park.
Five bedrooms across three floors and large loft storage
This rare five-bedroom Edwardian linked semi sits in the Thorpe Conservation Area backing onto Mayow Park, offering almost 3,000 sq ft of well-proportioned family space. The house combines generous period rooms with a contemporary extended kitchen-diner, two double-height reception rooms and abundant natural light throughout. A large rear garden, basement and huge loft deliver practical space for family life and storage.
The interior is rich in period detail — fireplaces, cornicing, high ceilings and original windows — alongside modern touches in the kitchen such as an island, integrated appliances and skylights. The layout across three floors makes the house flexible for children’s bedrooms, home working or formal entertaining; the ground-floor extension creates a bright family hub opening onto the garden.
Buyers should note practical considerations: there is only one main bathroom, the EPC is rated D and the property is in council tax band F (expensive). The solid-brick walls are assumed uninsulated, and being in a conservation area may restrict external alterations. These points are important for running costs and any future refurbishment plans.
For families seeking space, character and park access in Sydenham, this home represents a rare opportunity to move into a substantial period property with scope to modernise services and add further bathrooms or insulation to suit long-term family needs.
