Description

This charming 1930s semi-detached residence has been lovingly maintained by a single family for over four decades. Nestled in an elevated position in Upper Sydenham, it offers significant renovation potential within a highly desirable area. Directly opposite Wells Park, this home enjoys proximity to excellent transport links, reputable schools, and various local amenities. A charming paved pathway leads through the front garden adorned with shrubs and a mature Pampas plant to the welcoming double fronted entrance. Inside, the first reception room exudes warmth with its beautiful fireplace and dual aspect windows that provide peaceful views of the park—an inviting place to relax. Adjacent is another versatile reception or dining room featuring a large square bay window and a quaint wood burner. The kitchen connects seamlessly to a conservatory that opens out into the generous gardens at the rear. The current layout presents numerous opportunities for reconfiguration or extension (subject to planning permissions), allowing future owners to modernize while preserving the home's unique character. The south-facing garden is approximately 100ft long, showcasing tiered outdoor spaces that include a spacious patio perfect for entertaining, surrounded by lush planting and garden vistas. Steps lead up to a raised lawn area suitable for children's play, bordered by mature trees and vibrant perennials providing privacy and year-round beauty. Upstairs, three of the four bedrooms offer tranquil leafy views further enhancing this home's appeal. Additional features include off-street parking and a garage. Positioned on one of Upper Sydenham's most sought-after streets, residents are just moments away from Sydenham Hill and Sydenham Overground stations as well as local cafes, restaurants, and the direct access to Wells Park.
