A truly beautiful and incredibly well-styled two-bedroom flat with a private balcony and a communal garden in a handsome period building. Located on a quiet, no-through road moments from Crystal Palace Park and Station.

This achingly cool conversion flat ticks a lot of boxes! There’s the long lease (148 years remaining) a right to manage company (giving you control over the block’s management) outside space, a fab location, off-street parking (on a first come first serve basis) and a stunning interior, all of which amount to this being a fantastic investment, but also a home you’ll adore living in, too.

The reception has a nice aspect, and you feel elevated here. The sun is great, too, with the southeastern aspect, this room gets the morning to early afternoon sun and as is found throughout the flat, there’s a charming sash window, which frames that view perfectly. There’s space for a decent sofa or a pair if you wanted and a dining table so that ticks those boxes!

The kitchen is off the reception, which makes for a nice social layout when having mates over; it’s thoughtfully arranged in a practical galley layout and provides plenty of attractive wooden-topped prep space for your culinary adventures! Keen cooks will appreciate the gas hob, over which there is an extractor, and in warmer weather, there’s another of those large and very pretty sash windows to fling open!

The bedrooms are both good sized rooms, the larger of the two has a view over the gardens at the rear, as well as integrated wardrobe space which flank the chimney breast. There’s a delightful navy and white aesthetic, which we love, as we do the pair of tall sash windows, which are very, very pretty. The other bedroom is at the front of the building and shares the same view and aspect as the living space, so it gets fab light in the morning.

The bathroom is somewhat unique and wonderfully quirky, as it leads to a private balcony. Buyers are uncompromising when it comes to having a window in the bathroom, so this should satisfy most! There’s a shower over a full-sized bath, surrounded by white metro tiles, which contrast nicely against the adjacent sage walls.

The balcony is private and it overlooks the building’s communal gardens, both have a western aspect so get the mid-afternoon to evening sun, and the balcony especially captures some magical sunsets in the summer months.

Tenure-wise, as mentioned, the flat has an RTM (right to manage company), which gives the residents control over how the building is run and what the service charge is.

·      The lease is 148 years

·      The service charge is £324 PCM

·      There is no ground rent

Location-wise,Palace Square puts you at the heart of Palace, it’s just 0.3 miles from Crystal Palace station (a 7-minute walk), and you can easily be in central London for work or play without the Zone 1 price tag – Victoria in 25 minutes, London Bridge in 28, and Shoreditch High Street in 35 for those late-night adventures.

The legendary Crystal Palace Triangle is your local playground, only 0.4 miles away (9-minute walk), where independent boutiques and artisanal coffee shops are aplenty. There’s a lot of choice for weekend brunch spots and a selection of quality pubs, all of which serve up great food and atmosphere.

Crystal Palace Park (0.2 miles, 4-minute stroll) offers the perfect work-from-home lunch break escape, weekend picnic spot, or morning run route. The Sunday food market here has become a social institution – grab a flat white from Browns of Brockley’s stall before hunting down the best street food in South London.

The area’s creative energy is palpable, with Antenna Studios and Coopers Yard just up the road, while monthly vintage markets attract fashion-forward Londoners from across the city. For evening entertainment, catch an indie film at Everyman Cinema (0.5 miles) before craft beers at Craft & Courage, fine wine at Crystal Palace Wine Club or live music at Westow House. Digital nomads will appreciate the walkable café culture—Brown & Green (0.2 miles) has reliable Wi-Fi and excellent pastries, while independent coffee shops Etude and Four Boroughs (0.4 miles) offer a quieter workspace but a sensational caffeine hit.

For those hybrid-working days when you need an office alternative, The Paxton Centre provides creative co-working space, which is almost at the end of the road. The foodie credentials here rival Peckham and Brixton; there are too many to list on the Triangle, but a notable mention is The Alma (Grace Dent’s ‘pub of my dreams’) and even closer is the infamous small-batch bakery Chatsworth Bakehouse. You can end your week at Crystal Palace Food Market, where you’ll find independent producers, natural wines, and the kind of community atmosphere that makes SE19 special, and if you feel overindulged, you can jump into a 5k park run, every Saturday morning at 9 am.
