Chain: The current owners need to find & are actively looking
On a peaceful no-through road in Sydenham, this two-bedroom flat with a balcony and space-saving garage has had a modern makeover but still flexes its mid-century roots.
Brickworks Says
The current owners have upgraded every corner of the flat while retaining everything we love about mid-century design. The original mosaic parquet flooring, brought back to its glorious best, sets the tone, while newly installed internal doors allow free flow between the kitchen and living room or the option to close them off, creating intimate spaces. The wall-to-wall window in the living room draws both light and your attention, inviting you toward the south-facing balcony, where you can enjoy the ever-changing backdrop of the trees and gardens beyond.
The freshly fitted kitchen and bathroom fit seamlessly within the flat's simple yet compelling aesthetic, with a playful pop of pink in the kitchen for good measure. The bedrooms are both decently sized and, being designed with function in mind, have a generous amount of cupboard space. And if that wasn't enough, the accompanying garage is a dream for storing your kit and caboodle, keeping spaces clean and uncluttered.
Bath Court is surrounded by communal gardens and is part of an area of south London populated by green spaces—take your pick from the atmospheric Dulwich Woods to the manicured Horniman Gardens—you'd be forgiven for forgetting you're still in zone 3. Sydenham has a buzzing café culture and a high street that boasts everything from a fishmonger and butcher to wine shops and bars—everything you could possibly need for a pleasurable weekend. And with Sydenham Hill mainline station and Forest Hill/Sydenham also close by, there are solid transport connections too.
The Owners Say
We love our flat and its leafy green surroundings. With Sydenham Hill woods right on our doorstep and several wonderful parks nearby, including Horniman Gardens, it has become a calming sanctuary for us.
The large windows fill the space with light and offer great views, while the mid-century design ensures that the flat is wonderfully practical.

The Legal Bit
While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple-check details. Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct. However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others. Also, please note that we often round up/down total floor plan measurements and/or use approximate distances.
