We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Situated within an attractive period conversion on sought-after Westwood Hill, this beautifully presented first-floor flat offers bright and spacious accommodation, ideal for first-time buyers, professionals or investors alike.
This exquisite first floor, one bedroom, Victorian conversion flat has been painstakingly refurbished to an extremely high standard, incorporating modern open-plan living with existing Victorian period features throughout.
The entire flat benefits from grand 11ft ceiling heights and large windows, which bathe the generous volumes in natural light.
Built in the 1880's, Caen Tower was originally a 'School for the Daughters of Gentlemen'.
The property boasts stunning wall-to-wall wooden floors, original colourful stained-glass windows and original cornicing.
Upon entering the flat you are greeted by a bright hallway with lots of high-level storage.
The star attraction and focal point of the property is the large kitchen-living room, with its original timber floor, high ceilings and handsome bay window.
This room provides ample open-plan living space, currently arranged to provide lounge, dining and kitchen areas, creating the perfect space for both everyday living and entertaining.
The kitchen has an array of storage and modern appliances including a full size dishwasher, all less than a year old (as of July 2026).
The flat also benefits from a brand new high specification boiler, fitted in April 2026.
The master bedroom is wonderfully large, complete with fitted wardrobes whilst boasting space for a superking-sized bed.
The room is dual aspect with a feature oriel window that catches the morning sun.
Caen Tower enjoys an excellent location in the heart of Upper Sydenham, with a wide range of local shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities close by.
Sydenham and Sydenham Hill Sydenham stations are within easy reach, providing excellent transport links into Central London and surrounding areas, making this an ideal home for commuters.
