A stunning one-bedroom first-floor conversion flat in a handsome period building, in a position convenient for multiple transport links and Crystal Palace Park. Offered to the market with driveway parking, a share of freehold and a lease in excess of 900 years.

This super charming flat ticks so many boxes; it has the location, the space, the charm, the ceiling height (3m tall!), the share of freehold, and if you still need to commute for work, you can get into London Bridge & Victoria door-to-door in circa 40 mins.

At the front of the flat is the living room, it’s a wonderfully presented room that has quality wooden floors (that run through both halls and the reception). There’s plentiful space for a couple of sofas, or you can live out your sofa dreams and go as big as you dare, such is the space on offer. There’ll still be space for a large dining table, enough to seat 6-8 or even more if wanted, so you won’t feel shy hosting here! There are charming sash windows covered in louvred shutters, which are a classy touch.  

The kitchen is organised in a galley configuration, but it isn’t by any means pokey and has swathes of worktop space.  We love the aesthetic here, but it is also very functional, and it has a gas hob!! Notably, there is a new Worcester boiler in the kitchen; the highlight of some viewings is checking where the boiler is, and this one will leave no one disappointed ; )

The hall between the kitchen and entrance has a massive storage cupboard; it’s quite literally huge and is organised to create really useful storage; it will gobble up all your life paraphernalia, leaving your living space wonderfully clutter-free!

The bathroom is beautifully finished and has a lovely energy about it; the terrazzo tiles and coloured walls and ceiling complement each other brilliantly. There is a shower over a bath, giving you the best of both worlds and that all-important window for ventilation.

Moving outside, there is a large communal garden at the rear; it has a southwest aspect, so it gets the light from early afternoon through till sundown, which is the best aspect for a garden, really. If you have a car, your insurance premiums will be helped by the off-street parking space; although parking on the street is plentiful & free, having a driveway spot will decrease your premium.

Tenure-wise, the flat has a share of freehold, as well as…

…a long lease in the region of 990 years

…no service charge

…no ground rent

Location-wise, the flat is close to the park, the Triangle and the station. Just south of the conservation area on Belvedere Road, here you are tucked away, and it feels ever so serene. But you are close to everything, including the often overlooked Anerley Road, where you will find Café Chic, Bob Wines, and a few other incredible places you’ll love living next door to, such as the beloved Chatsworth Bakehouse, where locals queue for Tom & Sian’s insanely good sandwiches, focaccia, brownies & pizzas (if you’ve ever wondered why these crazed people queue as they do, go and join them, you’ll then understand!).

Being so close to the park is great, especially if you’re a foodie, as there is a food market which operates every Sunday. There’s a diverse mix of street food on offer, as well as deli-style artisan stands; most traders accept cards, and if you feel you’ve overindulged, there’s a 5k park run every Saturday morning at 9 am!

Slightly further up the hill, On the Triangle, you are spoilt for choice with restaurants, pubs, brilliant eateries, and even an Everyman Cinema. There are galleries, a yoga school, and a variety of coffee shops, from the indie artisanal variety to the bigger chains (café Nero, not the other one!), it’s worth mentioning that most shops in the Triangle are indies, and this is something we are all rightly proud of.

Crystal Palace has another food market in addition to the one in the park. It is on Haynes Lane, just off the Triangle, and operates every Saturday. It offers the best from small sustainable farmers and local food producers. Think of it as a local Borough Market but with a distinct Palace vibe!

Crystal Palace Station is your nearest transport link; it’s 0.5 mi away, or a 12 min walk and gives direct access to London Bridge as well as Victoria (via Forest Hill).
