Rockmount Road, London, SE19
A raised ground floor, one-bedroom Victorian flat on a central yet quiet road in Crystal Palace. Offered to the market in very good condition, with an exceptionally long lease (153 years) and no onward chain.
Having recently been updated, the flat has a new bathroom, a modern kitchen and a great distribution of space. The reception room is at the front and has a beautifully bright southeast-facing aspect, which the large bay window really takes advantage of.
The bedroom is at the rear, there’s space for a large bed and wardrobe, and with it being at the rear of the flat it is particularly quiet and very peaceful. Adjacent to the bedroom is the bathroom, which is very attractive and functional; there’s a large walk-in shower, large modern tiles on the floor and walls and contemporary fittings that finish off the space beautifully.
The kitchen is at the rear of the flat, which is arranged in a horseshoe shape, creating an incredible amount of worktop space and storage, too. This layout keeps everything to hand when cooking, and for the keener cooks, there’s the all-important gas hob!
Tenure-wise, the flat has a very long lease, with 153 years remaining. The service charge is £1910 per annum, and there is no ground rent.
Location-wise the flat is 0.3 mi from The Triangle where you are spoilt for choice with restaurants, pubs, brilliant eateries, and even an Everyman Cinema. There’s a yoga school, a variety of coffee shops from the indie artisanal variety to the bigger chains, there’s art galleries, celebrated gastro-pubs and restaurants catering to every taste.
For the practical stuff and bigger shops there is a reasonable-sized Sainsbury’s and the wonderful Crystal Palace Food Market on Haynes Lane, which operates every Saturday offering the best from small sustainable farmers and local food producers, think of it as a local Borough Market with a distinct Crystal Palace vibe.
Transport-wise, the flat is 0.6 mi to Gipsy Hill station, offering a direct link to Victoria and also London Bridge via Crystal Palace, Clapham Junction is also easily accessed which opens up more connections. Crystal Palace station is 0.8 mi away, and also has direct links to London Bridge, and Victoria as well as an overland connection going to Shoreditch, Dalston and Highbury & Islington amongst others.
