2 bed semi-detached house for sale

Halifax Street, Sydenham, London SE26

Offered with no onward chain, this charming Victorian cottage is located in a quiet cul-de-sac on the borders of Forest Hill and Sydenham. The property features a private patio garden, secure storage shed, and a spacious driveway, all with peaceful views over a tranquil, protected meadow. The rear of the property is part of a listed Georgian property on Kirkdale Road, ensuring privacy and a serene outlook.

Inside, the property retains many original features, including polished timber floors, brickwork, and timber-framed windows. The open-plan reception room leads into a well-fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, offering access to the southeast-facing garden. The layout was updated in 2015/16, creating a spacious landing with room for an office area and improving access to the bathroom.

The home has been extensively modernised, including full rewiring, new plumbing, energy-efficient sockets and fittings, and high-quality insulation throughout. The original floorboards have been sanded and relaid, and the loft has been insulated and boarded for additional storage. The high-efficiency Worcester Bosch boiler and Burley Debdale wood burner (defra-approved for smoke control areas) ensure comfort and efficiency.

Located within a mile of Forest Hill and Sydenham Stations, the property offers excellent transport links, with National Rail and London Overground services to Central London. The area is well-served by schools, nurseries, and green spaces such as Sydenham Wells Park and Dulwich Woods, with the Horniman Museum and Gardens nearby.
