2 bed flat for sale

Venner Road, London SE26

* Guide Price £350,000 to £375,000*

The property is a bright and well-proportioned two bedroom first floor flat on one of Sydenham's most sought-after residential roads. It offers 624 sq ft of well-planned accommodation and is ideal for first-time buyers, professional sharers and investors alike.

Windows at both ends of the flat make it bright throughout the day. The generous reception room (15'4 x 11'8) has a large window, so the main living space is flooded with natural light. The kitchen has its own window, so it's naturally bright rather than a windowless galley. At the opposite end of the flat, both bedrooms have their own windows, so you wake up to daylight rather than a dark back room.
Bedroom 1 is a roomy double at 14'5 x 11'6, with space for a wardrobe and a desk. Bedroom 2 (11'1 x 7'2) works as a second bedroom, nursery or home office, and comes with a built-in wardrobe. A central hallway links every room and includes useful storage cupboards. The bathroom has a shower over the bath, a basin and a WC.

The location is hard to beat for commuters. Sydenham station (Overground and Southern) is roughly a 5-minute walk, with direct services to London Bridge in around 20 minutes and the Overground to Canada Water, Shoreditch and Highbury & Islington. Penge East is also close by, with fast trains to London Victoria in around 20 minutes. Penge West offers another Overground option, and several bus routes serve the area, including the 176 towards Tottenham Court Road.

Sydenham's lively high street is a short stroll away, with independent cafés, bars, restaurants and pubs, plus everyday essentials. Lidl and Sainsbury's are both nearby for the weekly shop.

There's plenty of green space nearby. Crystal Palace Park, with its trails, sports facilities, boating lake and famous dinosaurs, is a short journey away. Closer to home are Sydenham Wells Park, Mayow Park and Alexandra Recreation Ground, all good for weekend walks and picnics.

The area is well served by schools, including Sydenham School (secondary) and Alexandra Junior School, with a choice of primary schools and nurseries within easy reach. Sydenham Hill station is only one stop away, putting the Dulwich schools within easy reach.
