A chain-free mid-century three-bedroom mid-terrace home located in the middle of the Crystal Palace tucked away just behind the Triangle. Offering well-distributed space and a peaceful & low-maintenance private garden & a garage (a scarce thing in this location!), with scope for extension into the loft space.

Located in a position that’s super convenient for the Triangle, Crystal Palace Park, and both Crystal Palace station and Gypsy Hill station.

Situated on Bedwardine Road, which is a prominent spot in the Upper Norwood conservation area, it puts the best that Crystal Palace has to offer on its doorstep yet remains quiet and peaceful.

The ground floor has a lovely flow to it, with large dual receptions offering generous space, enough for a large dining table and a comfortable living space, too. It has stunning (original) parquet floors arranged in a herringbone fashion. The rear of this space has UPVC French doors leading onto the garden, and this rear section is likely where you’d position your dining table (as we have in our virtually staged photos); there’s a useful (and oh so retro) serving hatch from the kitchen to the dining space and integrated shelves which provide useful storage and allow you to style the space to your tastes.

The kitchen is arranged in a horseshoe shape, which is one of our favourite configurations as it just keeps everything close to hand; it also provides a huge amount of (attractive wood) worktop space and is most efficient when you’re properly on it in the kitchen! Keen cooks will appreciate the range cooker; with a five-ring gas hob atop a large single oven, this thing will smash out a Christmas dinner, no problem! And with the space for a generous dining table next door, you’ll be able to cater for your guests without compromise.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, there’s a double overlooking the garden, which has a feeling of privacy as it doesn’t oppose the back of another house, it has good quality laminate floors and a double glazed window. The front bedroom is the largest and has a bright southern aspect and gets fantastic light in the middle of the day. The large wardrobe in situ currently is freestanding and can be easily removed. Adjacent is the smaller room, it would make an ideal child’s room, or a fab work-from-home space (as we have virtually set it up as), especially given its bright aspect.

The bathroom is a really lovely space, it has a walk-in rain shower and also a full-size bath. There are fully tiled walls and floor, the sanitary ware is quality and works really well with the overall décor of the house. The window has a large aperture, allowing lots of light in, which is a nice feature in a bathroom.

One of the neighbours has extended into the loft space, and this is likely something you could also do with this house, there’s also scope to extend into the garden and as you have rear access this will make any major works such as extensions that bit easier and cheaper.

The garden will be a real draw for many; for this location, it is impressive in size and gets the western sun in the late afternoon and evening. There is a manageable lawn and a patio ideal in size to BBQ on. The garage is sound and could be converted into a studio or work space, but it would also be very attractive to those with bikes or motorbikes or those who run a business from home, especially one that has visiting clients, as it can be accessed without coming through the house, via South Vale.

Location-wise, the house sits literally seconds from the Triangle, surrounded by Westow Street, Westow Hill & Church Road, which form Crystal Palace’s celebrated “Triangle”. It is also 505 metres as the crow flies (or 0.4mi walking) from the highly desirable “Ofsted Outstanding” Rockmount Primary school, which is a huge asset to this location. Upper Norwood Wood Rec’ is also moments away, that offers 19-acres of open space, ideal for dog walking, and there’s the free tennis courts!

Westow Park is literally opposite, which is another pretty, green space it’s almost 7 acres and has some attractive, mature trees, a children’s playground and, depending on the season an artisan coffee van.

Brunch, dinner and cocktails are all catered for within moments of the house, and the choice of coffee shops is just dazzling. You are spoilt for choice with amazing restaurants, pubs, and brilliant eateries; there’s even an Everyman Cinema a few minutes away. You’ll also find art galleries, yoga schools, and the list goes on!

There is also a Sainsbury’s supermarket 0.2 mi away and the wonderful Crystal Palace Food Market on Haynes Lane, quite literally at the top of the road, which operates every Saturday, offering the best from small sustainable farmers and local food producers. During the week when the food market is closed, you have the vintage clothes and furniture shops which you can while away hours in, also a great place to find mid-century treats to furnish this beautiful mid-century home!

Transport-wise, both Gipsy Hill & Crystal Palace Stations are just a smidge over half a mile away, giving access to London Bridge & Victoria as well as the city, Shoreditch and East London. Crystal Palace Park is also nearby, which offers 200 acres of grade 2 listed grounds to enjoy, it also houses the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre with its Olympic swimming pool, a gym, squash courts and a few activities you wouldn’t find at your average gym including trampolining, beach volleyball and an on-site physio.
