A stunning chain-free third-floor mid-century two-bedroom flat, with gorgeous leafy views, which are framed beautifully by those stunningly wide windows. Located in one of South London’s most prestigious and sought-after developments, fastidiously run by the Dulwich Estate, the development is famed for its mid-century style, designed by lauded architects Austin Vernon & partners.
Offering light, space and convenience owing to its brilliant location near Crystal Palace Triangle, Crystal Palace Park, and Dulwich, this spacious flat is part of an era in architecture that is rightfully celebrated and highly sought after.
The reception room is the heart of this home; it’s a vast space boasting beautiful herringbone parquet flooring and an immensely wide window that frames the view beautifully; you can easily forget you’re nestled between Dulwich & Crystal Palace, not only because of the view but also because of the peace and tranquillity found here.
The original large Crittall window remains, as they do in all the flats on the estate, a demonstration of the Dulwich Estate’s unwavering commitment to maintaining the character & appearance of their 1500-acre Estate, meaning changing the windows would be to divert from the original design and aesthetic created by Austin Vernon and Partners and their joint vision of modernist architecture created in post-war Dulwich.
There’s a high-quality kitchen, which is very sleek, attractive, and modern; the light tones help keep it feeling bright and airy. There are expensive Corian worktops, masses of storage, and the all-important gas hob. Marble-esque tiles on the splashbacks and heritage-style floor tiles are also nice touches that finish off the space well.
The bedrooms are both double rooms, with one benefitting from the same view as the living room; both are carpeted, which gives a cosy feel. The original design of these flats includes a door linking the bedrooms, which this flat has retained, but some flats have this blocked off to create a useful wardrobe space. Speaking of storage, the second room has large integrated wardrobes and the second room has plentiful space to have wardrobes built in or to install freestanding ones.
The flat has a garage en-bloc with an annual service charge of £31 PA.
The flat has a long lease, which is believed to have 122 years remaining.
The ground rent is peppercorn, and the service charge is even more reasonable at £1475 per annum.
Location-wise, the flat is a very short walk from Crystal Palace Park & the celebrated Triangle, where you will find a host of independent shops, restaurants, cafes, pubs and creative & artisan retailers, including furniture shops, vintage clothes shops, coffee shops and an Everyman cinema too. The famous Crystal Palace Park is moments away with its expansive green spaces, boating lake, dinosaurs and of course the national sports centre, where you can attend activities from swimming to trampolining, football, netball, volleyball and many, many others, there is, of course, a gym and a physio on site too.
Transport links are good here too, with Crystal Palace Station being a mile away, but less as the crow flies for those who prefer a greener walk through the park, and Gipsy Hill Station is less than half a mile away, between both stations you have options for London Victoria & London Bridge. Sydenham Hill is also easily accessible (0.6 mi away), which has a direct link to Victoria which takes only 17 mins!
Dulwich, West Norwood, East Dulwich, Sydenham & Brixton are all within very easy reach of the flat and open up so many options for nights and meals out at the weekends and evenings.
