£277,500, share of freehold

In leafy Upper Sydenham, find this fair apartment on the first floor of a Victorian house. Swoon at the large reception room at the rear of the property with a triple aspect. The rest doesn't disappoint - three bedrooms, a smart kitchen and bathroom, and lots of loft space make this one dream abode.

Enter at the front of the property through a shared main door (there is just one flat below you). Nip up the stairs and feel the draw to the large reception which happily accommodates a dining area too. A window on each of the three exterior walls keeps things extra bright, and a period fireplace sits prettily on one wall. Moving towards the front of the flat, first find the kitchen which is neatly fitted with white wall and base units. There's a large window to the side of the property. Next up is a slick bathroom with white suite and overhead shower. Take a few steps up and the three bedrooms lead off. There are two to the front (one large double with bay window, and one smaller double). The third bedroom is another double with tasty fireplace and a sash window.

The commute is an absolute doddle with Forest Hill station just a 12 minute trot for London trains. Sydenham station is a similar distance and both of these will be on the East London line extension. If you're after some green space, take a small walk to Sydenham Wells Park , Horniman Gardens or Dulwich Woods; all are a short walk. Eating out? Forest Hill, Crystal Palace and Dulwich Village are all reached in about 5 minutes by car. For shopping nip to Sainsbury's in Forest Hill (just made-over).
