Description
Forest House is a rare, consented opportunity to build a bespoke, low-energy eco-home in harmony with its natural surroundings. This architecturally designed, timber-framed and timber-clad new-build offers C. 2,600 sq. ft of contemporary living space across two storeys, with four bedrooms and exceptional environmental credentials.
Meticulously crafted by award-winning architect and self-builder Jonathan Pile of Oval Partnership Architecture, the design is inspired by Pile's earlier project, shortlisted for RIBA House of the Year 2019 and featured on Grand Designs.
The property has been conceived with a deep respect for nature. All mature trees and a self-sown hedgerow on the site are retained and integrated into the plan, with advanced 3D laser scanning used to map the surrounding vegetation. This ensures the home sits lightly in the landscape while offering privacy, light, and views.
An innovative feature of the design is the potential to divide the property (subject to planning permission) into two self-contained units:
• A main 3/4-bedroom home with front and rear gardens
• A separate, independently accessed annex with its own private garden
This flexibility adds long-term value and opens possibilities for multigenerational living, guest accommodation, or rental income.
Location:
The site enjoys a superb location in central Sydenham, one of South East London's most dynamic and up-and-coming neighbourhoods. Positioned just 0.1 miles (120m) from Sydenham Station, it offers fast and frequent rail services into London Bridge, making it ideal for commuters and city professionals.
Residents will benefit from immediate access to the vibrant local high street, with a range of shops, cafes, restaurants, and everyday amenities just a short walk away. The area also boasts excellent transport connections to nearby hubs such as Crystal Palace, Dulwich, and Forest Hill, ensuring seamless connectivity across South East London.
This well-connected, community-focused location offers both urban convenience and a strong sense of neighbourhood—making it an ideal setting for a high-quality residential development.
Forest House is a true one-off—an opportunity to build a future-forward home shaped by craftsmanship, sustainability, and architectural vision.
