Set on an elevated, gated plot on Sydenham Hill, this impressive Victorian detached home provides more than 5,400 sq ft of living space across multiple floors — ideal for a growing family seeking scale, character and private outdoor space. The reception room exceeds 21 ft and the formal dining room stretches 34 ft, while a substantial kitchen and conservatory look out over a beautifully landscaped garden of around 129 ft. Period details such as high ceilings, bay windows, decorative mouldings and marble-finished bathrooms are evident throughout.
Sleeping accommodation is arranged across three floors and includes six bedrooms and five bathrooms. The principal suite on the first floor benefits from a walk-in wardrobe, marble family bathroom and a private terrace; three king-size bedrooms also have en-suite bathrooms. A second terrace serves the top-floor bedrooms. A basement provides extensive utility and storage space, and the carriage drive plus garage will appeal to those who need secure off-street parking.
There are important practical points to note. Constructed before 1900 in solid brick, the house is likely to lack modern wall insulation; the double glazing installation date is unknown. The property’s size and period fabric mean ongoing maintenance should be expected. Local data shows pockets of area deprivation despite excellent local amenities and transport; crime is average. Council tax details are not provided. For buyers prioritising space, schools and period character in an inner-city, well-connected location, this house offers exceptional potential, but budget for upgrading insulation and routine upkeep.
