Detached house to rent in Sydenham Hill, Sydenham, London SE26

Located in a private corner of the Beltwood Park grounds, Stables Lodge is a detached four-bedroomed family home with a lift providing access to all three floors.

Stables Lodge reflects the essence of the Old Gate House while offering a wonderful juxtaposition of traditional and contemporary architecture. The building has been conceived as the contemporary 'sister' to the original Arts and Crafts Old Gate House located at the entrance of the driveway to Beltwood House. The width, height and roof pitch are intended to mirror that of the original gatehouse, introducing a dualism in age and architectural style to the site.

This distinctively modern and original home opens onto a large reception hall with a Scandinavian Aritco HomeLift. The kitchen/diner is finished to an exceptionally high standard and furnished with the latest appliances; this flows into an open-plan living space with a feature fireplace and a stunning glazed roof light. Four double bedrooms, contemporary bathrooms and a range of smart-home features complete the luxurious lifestyle this home offers.

The house has its own dedicated entrance separate from the main gate and a car turntable while Beltwood Park residents have private access to the on site Wellness suite with a hydrotherapy pool, steam room, sauna and gym.

For those in the know, the allure of London is a long way from the familiar tourist sites, department stores and chain restaurants. In fact, the true charm of London is waiting to be discovered in the capital's network of outlying villages, each with its own unique appeal.

Here, you'll find everything you need to live your best London life, from stylish home décor to the latest fashions and from gastropubs to restaurants serving authentic global cuisine. In the vibrant streets of Peckham's Bellenden Village, vintage fashion boutiques rub shoulders with artisan delis, independent bookstores and the renowned Persian shop and restaurant Persepolis. Spend a lazy Sunday cooling off at Brockwell Lido or browsing among the fresh produce, organic food and second-hand collectables at Haynes Lane market in Gypsy Hill.

When it comes to leisure, you'll be spoiled for choice. Take in an arthouse movie at the East Dulwich Picturehouse or a blockbuster on the giant screen at the Odeon bfi imax, just a short stroll from the South Bank complex of performance and exhibition halls. Family-friendly museums, world-class theatres and a host of music venues offer all-year-round entertainment. In a city blessed with vast swathes of green spaces, there are plenty of options for family outings. Your new home is within easy reach of Kew Gardens, Richmond and Greenwich Parks, and Battersea Park Children's Zoo, to name a few. And with an excellent network of rail and bus services on your doorstep, you'll have no trouble navigating your way across one of the most exciting and enriching cities in the world.
