About this property
Communal garden
A neat and bright one bed flat. Find it on the second floor of a low-rise, purpose-built block that is close to both Sydenham and Forest Hill stations (0.36 and 0.7 miles away respectively), for Windrush and regular rail services. Chain free.
You have parking for residents, a walled communal vegetable garden, an active residents association and a resident caretaker, and Sydenham Wells Park is really local. As are handy high street areas on both Kirkdale and Sydenham Road. You are also close to leafy Forest Hill and to Dulwich.
The flat measures in at over 500 square feet and it has a strong layout. In your own front door on the second floor, find your smart fitted kitchen to your left, with space enough to eat in and two built-in storage cupboards.
To your right of the hall is your windowed bathroom, with a white suite, blue metro-style tiling, and an over-bath shower. Past a handy built-in cloak cupboard, next door is your bedroom: A good double running over 15 feet to west-facing windows (pleasingly, the flat is double-glazed throughout).
Across the hall is your large reception room (which is currently in use as a second generous bedroom), of over 14 feet by 13 feet.
Kirkdale, Sydenham Road and Forest Hill’s Dartmouth Road are busy with popular independent cafes, restaurants and little shops. We like Mont58, Journey Cafe and The Moustache a great deal.
Since the Overground line became a firm fixture in 2012, the pressure has really been building in Sydenham with lots of buyers realising there is great value for money to be enjoyed, alongside the great connections.
Local leisure options are strong, with Sydenham Wells Park really close, and Crystal Palace Park, Sydenham Woods and Horniman Gardens also nearby. Local indoor leisure options include a PureGym, Forest Hill Pools, and The National Sports Centre within Crystal Palace Park.
We have already mentioned the easy walk to both Sydenham and Forest Hill Stations - that’s the commute sorted. The 24/7 176 bus (picked up on Kirkdale) is also worth a mention, delivering you to Tottenham Court Road. You are also but a short bus journey to Crystal Palace Triangle.
