A beautifully presented three/four bedroom townhouse in a gated mews close to Crystal Palace Triangle. It boasts a huge lateral living space on the ground floor, two bathrooms, a utility, a separate dining room, off-street parking, and an incredibly private patio garden.
This stunning home has been lovingly cared for, and unlike most townhouses, it has a huge amount of living space on the ground floor owing to the large living room extension. This extension makes this home much more suitable for family life than a typical townhouse would be, especially given there is also a downstairs WC, a plush utility room, a large dining space and a semi-open plan kitchen to the dining room.
The living space is the heart of this home; it’s an incredibly bright space owing to the three large skylights in the ceiling and the three huge floor-to-ceiling panes in the bi-folds. With the bi-folds open, the inside and outside become one space, and in the summer months, this setup will be a huge attraction to most, it’s a great layout for entertaining, and there are also double doors from the dining/kitchen space onto the garden as well, which is ideal when BBQ’ing or dining outdoors.
Double doors also separate the dining space from the living room, which is great if you want to separate the living room from the smells or noises from the kitchen & dining space. There is a very well-organised utility room with defined spaces for a washing machine & separate tumble dryer, masses of built-in storage and a sink; this space also has a skylight, so it always feels bright and airy. The kitchen is generously sized and is arranged in a horseshoe shape, creating an abundance of worktop and storage space.
Moving up to the first floor, you’ll find the main bedroom, which has a very swanky walk-in wardrobe and also an ensuite. Although the walk-in wardrobe can easily be turned back into the fourth bedroom, as the door leading onto the hall remains, so it would take little effort to reclaim this as a bedroom. The en-suite has a large walk-in shower and large gloss grey tiles, which gives a very luxurious feel.
The top floor is home to two double bedrooms and a bathroom. Both rooms are generously sized double rooms, and the bathroom is finished to an incredible standard; the Crittall-style shower screen contrasts so well against the arrangement of the metro tiles on the walls.
Heading back down to the garden, it is an incredibly private space that isn’t overlooked at all, and for those who aren’t green-fingered or are pushed for time, it is very easy to maintain. There’s a tall retaining wall that wraps around the living room part of the garden, which bounces the light around well and creates privacy.
Location-wise, the house is brilliantly located for both the Triangle & Gipsy Hill station.
Gipsy Hill station, with its links to London Bridge and Clapham Junction isapprox. 500 metres away, so less than ten minutes’ walk. Don’t forget to say hello to Fanny, the resident station cat who’s something of a local celebrity!
You’re also close to good primary and secondary schools here, Rockmount (rated outstanding) is less than 500m as the crow flies.
Norwood Park is 0.4 miles away, with its Montessori nursery, skate park and cool café. There are also pretty epic views over central London, with the skyline soaring over the green space. Dogs (and their owners) will be happy to hear Crystal Palace Park is also a short stroll away, and Dulwich Park is also within walking distance. If you like your Parkrun hilly, you’ll love Saturday mornings at Crystal Palace.
Locals love the Crystal Palace triangle, with its gastro-pubs, cafes, restaurants and vibrant mix of independent shops. A brunch at Bloom Café, a film at the Everyman Cinema or a class at The Yoga Edge are just some of the options for your Saturday. And don’t forget to browse the local furniture shops and markets with their mid-century classics.
Crystal Palace’s answer to Borough Market, Haynes Lane, brings together local food producers and small sustainable farmers on a Saturday. Swing by Crystal Palace Park on a Sunday and you can catch the outdoor food market and grab a coffee and breakfast at the family-friendly Brown and Green café.
