A modern two-bedroom apartment with generous floor space, a stylish quality finish, off-street parking and a long lease (115 years). This is perfect for first-time buyers or those looking for an investment property; this apartment offers a comfortable and contemporary living experience that is also exceptional value for money.
Space is in abundance here, and the space is well distributed across the flat too; every room feels chunky, and there really is little to compromise on. The living room is at the front of the building and from your two large double-glazed sash windows has a pretty view over Marlow Road, in particular, the stunning cedar tree in the garden opposite. There’s a high level of finish in this room, and the plush carpet gives it a very homely vibe, it’s bright too, especially when the sun is in the west in the afternoon, as it really floods through those beautiful windows.
The kitchen boasts acres of wood countertops, masses of storage space, and an integrated oven and gas hob, making cooking a joyous experience. Whilst spacious, the kitchen could also be opened up to the reception room if you wanted to create a larger and more sociable space.
Down the large and very spacious hall, is the bathroom, which is equally as impressive as the kitchen, with elegant fixtures, large luxury tiles and a shower over a full-size bath-tub, it gives you the best of both worlds for those that like showers and also baths, for the ultimate relaxation after a long day.
One of the highlights of this property is undoubtedly the two large double bedrooms, providing plenty of space, both have a bright southeast-facing aspect which gets the morning sun. The master bedroom is only one foot smaller than the reception room and has space for the largest of wardrobes, and the biggest bed you could wish for! The second bedroom is a large double too and can easily double up as a spacious office for when you need to work-from-home and be a guest bedroom too.
The flat is believed to have…
…a lease in the region of 115 years
…no service charges
…a ground rent of £250 per annum
Location-wise, the flat is 0.4 mi from Birkbeck Station, with two trains per hour to Beckenham Junction and London Bridge via Crystal Palace. There’s also a tram every ten minutes, which takes you into Beckenham Junction or East Croydon in the opposite direction. Beckenham Junction Station opens up a direct link to both London Bridge & Victoria. Elmers End Station is just under a mile away and offers another Tram link and also a direct connection to Charing Cross.
For those wishing to put down roots locally, the local schools are very sought after, with the most popular ones being Stewart Fleming (rated outstanding) which is a few roads away, Churchfields, and the perennially popular Balgowan primary school are also very nearby.
The local parade on Elmers End Rd has a Co-op, a gym, a few cafes and other useful amenities, including the newly opened Italian restaurant “Bella Vista”. There’s an Aldi close by, and Penge High Street is not far for a wider selection of shops, including a larger Sainsbury. Beckenham High St would likely be your go-to for a night out, owing to how accessible it is via Birkbeck station, and offers a vast variety of restaurants providing a truly global selection of cuisines to choose from, as well as many cafes and coffee shops.
Elmers End also has a large Tesco Supermarket, and just before Elmers End is South Norwood Country Park which offers 125 acres of parkland, wetlands and meadow, great for dog walking and exercising.
