Byne Road, Sydenham, London, SE26

Exceptional four-bedroom Victorian family home with two separate, dedicated office spaces, stunning principal suite, wraparound garden, nearby outstanding schools and superb transport links to Central London.

Set discreetly behind fencing and gated access, this substantial Victorian home combines timeless period elegance with the practicality and energy efficiency of a comprehensive modern renovation. Extended and upgraded to a high specification throughout, the property offers an exceptional amount of versatile living space, generous storage and a wonderfully private setting.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors with the ground floor centred around a stunning, light-filled kitchen and a dining space that opens onto the garden - creating an ideal hub for family life and entertaining. A separate reception room provides a more formal living space, while a spacious utility room and grand entrance hallway add further practicality and character.

The recently completed loft conversion creates an impressive principal suite occupying the entire top floor, with a large double bedroom, built-in wardrobe and a stylish, modern bathroom. Three further generous double bedrooms are located on the first floor, alongside a beautifully appointed family bathroom. The property benefits from two additional, dedicated office spaces, making it ideal for home working. In addition, there is excellent storage availability throughout including a sizable basement, eaves storage and fitted wardrobes.

The house retains an abundance of original Victorian character, including high ceilings, decorative cornicing and feature fireplaces, whilst benefiting from significant investment in insulation and modernisation to ensure comfortable and efficient living.

Outside, the wraparound garden offers a variety of seating and entertaining areas with sunshine throughout the day, together with a productive vegetable patch and a garden shed.
