Fransfield Grove, Sydenham, London, SE26

Tucked away on a peaceful street in Upper Sydenham, this striking converted warehouse is an architectural gem that unites historic character with contemporary design. Arranged across two floors with an inverted layout, it features two double bedrooms on the ground level and open, light-filled living spaces above, crowned by a private roof terrace.

Built in the 1870s by local builder George Kemp as a showroom warehouse, the building retains its red-brick façade and original warehouse doors. Inside, the upper floor unfolds beneath soaring beams and dramatic skylights, with a marble-framed fireplace and Gothic-arched French doors leading to a Juliet balcony. The sleek kitchen, complete with marble surfaces, integrated Bosch appliances, and a central island, opens onto stairs rising to the secluded roof terrace - a tranquil retreat surrounded by bamboo and greenery.

The main bedroom includes a distinctive sunken seating area or dressing space, along with a refined en-suite bathroom, all with heated floors. A second double bedroom sits nearby, served by a stylish shower room o the hallway.

Moments from Kirkdale and Sydenham High Street’s boutique cafés, wine bars, and green spaces such as Sydenham Woods and Dulwich Park, this beautifully restored home o ers a rare blend of heritage, design, and privacy in a sought-after corner of south east London.
