Comments from the owner: What do you love most about your home?




We love the quiet location, on a cul-de-sac at the top of Kirkdale. The high ceilings give the flat a light, spacious feel and there is plenty of storage space, with built-in eaves cupboards. The living room offers captivating views and is the perfect spot to watch fireworks on New Year's Eve with a glass of champagne. Our large communal garden is perfect for summer parties and BBQs or for just taking a little bit of time out and kicking back on a sun lounger or enjoying a spot of brunch al fresco style.




Why are you moving?




We're moving as we need to be closer to family but leaving the area has been a tough decision to make.




What do you love about the area?




Public transport options from the flat are superb, and there is a Zipcar bay located at the end of the road. Ten minutes away you'll find Sydenham Hill Wood, a ten-hectare nature reserve adjoining Dulwich Wood. You are also spoilt for choice of beautiful parks, with the historic Wells Park and vast Mayow Park nearby. The Horniman Museum is close by, with its famous natural history gallery, stunning gardens and weekly food market. Dartmouth Road provides a wealth of independent shops - Bunka for gifts, Beetroot & Beans zero-waste greengrocer, ultimate grilled cheese sandwiches at Aga's Little Deli and vinyl at Leaf & Groove. Head to The Sydenham Centre to sample Ignition Brewery and Taproom and see local independent theatre.
