This first-floor Victorian conversion offers a newly refurbished two-bedroom layout with period character and modern finishes. At around 667 sq ft, the apartment delivers a bright reception room, a large principal bedroom, separate fitted kitchen and a contemporary three-piece bathroom — ready to move into and offered chain free.
Practical details suit buyers who want convenience: 117 years remain on the lease, council tax is affordable, broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent. The building retains original brickwork and double glazing (installed before 2002); solid brick walls likely lack insulation, so buyers should budget for any thermal upgrades they want to make.
Location is a strong selling point: Kent House Road places you within easy walking distance of Sydenham’s high street, parks and strong transport links. Be pragmatic about the area — crime levels are above average and the broader neighbourhood shows signs of deprivation — but the combination of character, recent refurbishment and good connectivity will appeal to first-time buyers or professionals seeking a well-priced, move-in-ready London flat.
