DETAILS

This super-sized maisonette can be summed up in one word. Magical. Be prepared to rub your eyes in disbelief! It takes the ground and lower ground floors (ooh there's a cellar too) of an enormous Victorian house. There's just one maisonette above you. It's situated on the no through section of a peaceful residential street in Sydenham. The residence retains many of its original features (swoon) and has been very sympathetically maintained and improved. In particular, we love the stained glass detail, the Aga, the sublime original marble fireplaces and the bespoke carpentry found throughout. You're but a five minute trot to Sydenham station (soon to be on the East London line extension in 2010). Why have one front door when you can have two? Enter at ground or lower ground level as you desire. The front garden (yours) is pretty and tiered so allows in plenty of light to the kitchen/diner. The accommodation is very flexible and would suit many a set-up, with two large rooms on the ground floor (the original reception rooms). Both of these have especially big and beautiful original fireplaces. The front room is currently enjoyed as the master bedroom and has a stunning French oak floor. Huge windows serve each room. Stained glass detail frames the bathroom door on this floor, which holds a brand new white suite including a tempting roll top bath. Down the stairs (new pale carpets adorn the hall and stairs) at the rear of the property, find a large bedroom with garden views and period fireplace. Adjacent is another large bed/study room with bespoke shelving either side of the door (with borrowed light - the original scullery), and a large and beautiful hand-built kitchen/diner with a gorgeous Aga (rejoice - it's staying!). Also on this floor is a second front door into the utility room (access this from just outside the kitchen) and from here, open the door into the coal hole - a fabulous storage space. There's more! A large cellar (limited height for the most part but fabulous for storing large items) is accessed from the hall. Pop out at the back (no need to intrude on any rooms) to the garden which is all yours and around 75ft and comes complete with greenhouse and summer-house. Mature planting impresses - the Elderflower, Plum and Bay trees are particularly lovely.Sydenham (for London Bridge or London Victoria) and Penge East (for Victoria) stations are but a 5 minute walk for the commute or weekend jaunt into town, and Sydenham will be on the East London line extension in 2010. Shopping is seriously simple - with a host of high street shops just at the top of your road. New and welcome additions to the high street include The Dolphin gastro-pub, The Blue Mountain Cafe (both on Sydenham Road) and Sugahill cafe (on Kirkdale). If you can drag yourself from your own garden, Crystal Palace and Mayow Parks are close. More dining or retail options are available locally - try Lordship Lane, Dulwich Village or Crystal Palace.Please note: The Freehold for the building is available to purchase by separate negotiation.For further information or to arrange a viewing, please contact our Sydenham Sales Branch on 020 8613 0060.Visit www.woosterstock.co.uk for full details, colour photos, maps and floor plans.We endeavour to make all our property particulars, descriptions, floor-plans, marketing and local information accurate and reliable but we make no guarantees as to the accuracy of this information.
