Venner Road, Sydenham

Set on a popular residential street in Sydenham, this beautifully presented ground floor period conversion combines original character with thoughtful modern upgrades. With super-high ceilings throughout and light pouring in at different times of day, the flat feels airy, uplifting and wonderfully calm.

The living room is a standout space, featuring a bright bay window with classic shutter blinds and an original working fireplace — perfect for cosy evenings. The proportions are generous and the ceiling height enhances the sense of space even further.

The kitchen has been stylishly modernised while retaining the original oven as a charming feature. It’s a practical and characterful space that works equally well for everyday cooking and entertaining. The bedroom enjoys double-glazed patio doors opening directly onto the garden, offering a peaceful outlook and an alternative private access without needing to go through the kitchen. It’s ideal in the warmer months when you want to step straight outside with a coffee in hand. The private garden is a true highlight. Mature, colourful and beautifully established, it captures light throughout the day — with sunny spots in the morning, afternoon and evening. In the summer months it becomes completely flooded with sunlight, making it a wonderful extension of the living space. It also has full electrical connections, and lighting throughout.

Storage is exceptional for a flat of this kind. There is a large, weather-sealed cellar providing significant dry storage space. The toilet also benefits from a cleverly designed utility cupboard, maximising practicality without compromising style.
The property has been carefully maintained and upgraded, including a complete gas pipe renewal within the last two years, full damp proofing, and newly redone drains — offering real peace of mind to any incoming buyer. Further benefits include share of freehold and an exceptionally long lease of approximately 990 years.

Our Vendor Loves...
"Venner Road has a real sense of community - friendly neighbours and a welcoming feel! Day to day, I’ve loved having beautiful independent coffee shops and easy lunch spots nearby, making even ordinary weekdays feel special. The garden has been a true sanctuary. In summer it’s completely sun-filled, and I’ve spent many happy hours entertaining friends or simply sitting out peacefully with a book. It really feels like an extension of the flat. Weekends often mean hopping on a train to Herne Hill or Brixton for brunches and markets, or wandering through Crystal Palace Park, picking up something from the Sunday market and exploring the Triangle — with the bonus of being able to walk home in around 15 minutes (which was great for the summer events in the park!). There are also so many lovely pubs and restaurants within a short walk! With so many stations within 5-10s walk, getting into or out of London has always been incredibly easy. I don't know if there are many places this green and quiet, yet well connected! I’ve truly loved living here and will really miss it!"
