A chain-free three-bedroom, two-bathroom modern flat with two terraces, off-street parking and a long lease (114 years), tucked away in a quiet gated development located conveniently for Gipsy Hill, Crystal Palace & West Norwood.
Presented in fantastic condition, this spacious flat spans over 900 ft2 and this generous floor space is also really well distributed throughout the flat, all the rooms feel sizable and there’s no feeling of compromise with any of the rooms.
The reception is open-plan to the kitchen, which makes for an incredibly social space. This L-shaped configuration works well and is great when entertaining and cooking, allowing you to keep the conversation flowing while cooking for your guests, which you’ll no doubt love doing on your swanky Smeg gas hob! The kitchen is nicely finished, with composite worktops and integrated appliances; there’s masses of storage and generous countertop space.
The reception is large enough to accommodate a large dining table and a large L shape sofa or two separate sofas if wished and at the end of the reception room is one of two terraces; this one has a westerly aspect which gets the late afternoon and evening sun, which is an ideal aspect for living space and any outside space.
There are three proper double bedrooms; one has an en-suite bathroom, and all three rooms have integrated wardrobes. The main bedroom with en-suite also has access to its own terrace, which is incredibly private and has an eastern aspect. One of the bedrooms is adjacent to the reception and shares its western aspect, it is also opposite the main bathroom, which makes it a good room for guests or a lodger.
Location-wise, the flat is nestled away in a quiet gated development, putting it away from the hustle & bustle, but it’s still within easy reach of some fantastic pubs, cafes and coffee shops, such as the Great North Wood, Otter, & Knowles of Norwood to name a few. There’s also West Norwood Picturehouse cinema, which is only 0.7 mi away (16 min walk according to Google Maps), and several chain and indie shops for food and grocery shopping.
