3 bedroom house for sale

Tenure: Freehold

A particulalry interesting mix of architecture (Victorian, Edwardian and Deco) marks Canonbie Road one of the area's most highly regarded. Well, this plus the most spectacular views over London. People travel up here on New Years Eve to watch fireworks being set off across the city; this is the second highest peak in town after Primrose Hill. <br>

When Honor Oak train station opened in 1865 to serve The Crystal Palace before it burnt down in 1936, and this property homed the station master there. Some track and a tunnel remain in Sydenham Woods, but the station itself closed in 1954 and was demolished. It was literally at the bottom of the enormous garden here - he just had to roll our of bed top get to work. (NB not to be confused with Honor Oak Park, just down the road). <br>

Much loved, the present owners have been here for over 20yrs and added a large conservatory to the rear plus an upper decked terrace. The reception is immense and has folding doors should you wish to separate it from the conservatory space. There's a useful utility room, nice sized modern kitchen with a back door and downstairs cloakroom in the hall. <br>


Upstairs you have a bathroom with w.c plus separate w.c next door. A shower has been cleverly fitted into a hall cupboard, so no one should be queuing up in the morning! 3 rather ample double bedrooms are all well turned out. Side access to the house from the street makes light work of wheeling in the bikes. <br>

Pick up a train into town from either Honor Oak Park or Forest Hill stations - they sit on the same line and serve London Bridge, Victoria and benefit from the brand new East London Line Extension with trains to Canada Water, Whitechapel, Hoxton and Highbury and Islington. Primary schools are fab from here; Fairlawn and Horniman are both a short walk. Stroll around the stunning landscaped gardens in the Horniman Museum or across the road at Brenchley Gardens or Peckham Rye Park -you're not short of leafy green space round here.




while you border East Dulich, Forest Hill and Honor Oak centres. <br>
