THE PROPERTY - DIRECT ACCESS TO THE WOODS and THE GROUNDS OF THE DEVELOPMENT
Located in easy reach of Forest Hill and East Dulwich stations as well as being opposite the Hornimans Museums and Gardens with direct access to Sydenham Hill Woods, this is a property that offers more than many others locally.
There are several features of this apartment which include:
•The communal gardens lead to the highly acclaimed Sydenham Hill Woods. Made up of approximately 11 hectares, Sydenham Hill Wood forms part of the largest remaining tract of the old Great North Wood. The wood is home to more than 200 species of trees and plants as well as rare fungi, insects, birds and woodland mammals.
The Woods are a unique mix of new and ancient woodland, with remnants of Victorian gardens and is London Wildlife Trust’s oldest nature reserve.
In the 1980s, Sydenham Hill Wood was saved from development threats, a testament to the determination of local people to safeguard nature. It became London Wildlife Trust’s first nature reserve in 1982 and Cox’s Walk came under the Trusts management in 1998.
This lovely walk is perfect for couples, family walks (including the dog!) and hikers with a great pub at the end for a Sunday roast or a summery pint in their amazing beer garden!
•Tucked behind Sydenham Hill Wood you will find yet another great attraction. The ever-popular Dulwich & Sydenham Hill Golf Club, which was founded in 1894.
The golf course was designed by the great Harry S Colt and is set among mature oaks on the slopes of Sydenham Hill overlooking Dulwich College and enjoys a deserved lofty status among the capital’s golfing elite.
•Cafes in the immediate area - there are two cafes in the Horniman and there is a Brown and Greens that has recently opened in the Playpark just across the road
•There is a strong community spirit within the development. There are lots of young families living in the development with many organising summertime cocktails out in the glade area of the communal grounds
•There is an active Residents Association. Frequent meetings take place and local councillors attend these sessions to feedback to the council. They also organise seasonal family activities such as Easter hunts and other celebrations. This is another great example of the community spirit within the development
•Heating and hot water is included in the yearly service charges with the communal boiler having been replaced (paid for by the current owners). The heating and hot water system now offers a circa 40 year warranty!
•Over 800 sq ft of living space which is fluidly laid out off a central hallway. Please note the central hallway itself if the size of a room providing a striking entrance hall
•The apartment has windows in every room (including the bathroom, toilet and kitchen). This means there are window on opposing sides if the apartment which is also great for cross ventilation. Some of these windows are Southerly facing filling the rooms with natural light as the sun moves around the building through the day
• A separate store cupboard is also available with the flat and is located on the entrance landing.
•A well serviced lift offers easy access, great for children’s buggies etc.
Caring for the development are the dedicated groundsman and caretaker who are on site several days a week maintaining the gardens and communal areas. These gardens are host to many varied birds and wild flowers – owls, nuthatches, blue bells, violets, Herb Robert and lady's smock to name a few. The current owners of this apartment enjoy listening and looking out at the variety of birds in the trees.

The Horniman Museum and Playpark - membership of the Horniman is low cost and great for families. There are lots of activities for all ages in the park and it boasts a spectacular view of London from the Hill. For those who have a dog or are thinking of getting one, there are lots of dog walkers / minders in the area and a great bunch of people meet there in the mornings to walk dogs together (the current owners have had a positive experience of this whilst living in the property).
