Flat 6, Attleborough Court, Sydenham Hill, London SE23

Located in easy reach of Forest Hill and East Dulwich stations as well as being opposite the Hornimans Museums and Gardens with direct access to Sydenham Hill Woods, this is a property that offers more than many others locally.

There are several features of this apartment which include:
The communal gardens lead to the highly acclaimed Sydenham Hill Woods. Made up of approximately 11 hectares, Sydenham Hill Wood forms part of the largest remaining tract of the old Great North Wood. The wood is home to more than 200 species of trees and plants as well as rare fungi, insects, birds and woodland mammals.

The Woods are a unique mix of new and ancient woodland, with remnants of Victorian gardens and is London Wildlife Trust’s oldest nature reserve.

This lovely walk is perfect for couples, family walks (including the dog!) and hikers with a great pub at the end for a Sunday roast or a summery pint in their amazing beer garden!

Tucked behind Sydenham Hill Wood you will find yet another great attraction. The ever-popular Dulwich & Sydenham Hill Golf Club, which was founded in 1894.

The golf course was designed by the great Harry S Colt and is set among mature oaks on the slopes of Sydenham Hill overlooking Dulwich College and enjoys a deserved lofty status among the capital’s golfing elite.

Cafes in the immediate area - there are two cafes in the Horniman and there is a Brown and Greens that has recently opened in the Playpark just across the road

There is a strong community spirit within the development. There are lots of young families living in the development with many organising summertime cocktails out in the glade area of the communal grounds

There is an active Residents Association. Frequent meetings take place and local councillors attend these sessions to feedback to the council. They also organise seasonal family activities such as Easter hunts and other celebrations. This is another great example of the community spirit within the development

Heating and hot water is included in the yearly service charges with the communal boiler having been replaced (paid for by the current owners). The heating and hot water system now offers a circa 40 year warranty!
