This well-proportioned two-bedroom period conversion occupies the first floor of a double-fronted Victorian villa on Gipsy Hill, offered with no onward chain and a long lease (136 years). The flat has been recently refreshed, with a generous dual-aspect reception room that fills the space with natural light and gives pleasant views over the mature communal garden. Its layout — two bedrooms spaced apart, a separate kitchen and a split-level hallway — suits sharers, commuters or a small family needing a home office.
Practical details are straightforward: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of approximately £1,538 and a council tax band C. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators. The apartment’s overall footprint is modest (approx. 602 sq ft), so buyers should expect compact rooms relative to some larger conversions.
Location is a genuine strength. Central Crystal Palace amenities — cafés, restaurants, shops and the Triangle — are within easy reach, and nearby stations provide fast links into central London. Local schools include Ofsted-rated options and the area benefits from strong mobile signal and fast broadband, appealing to commuters and active urban lifestyles.
No material flood risk is recorded, but note local crime levels are above average. The building dates from before 1900 and retains period features, so there’s scope to personalise further or upgrade finishes; any works should factor in the usual considerations for older solid-brick walls. Overall this is a ready-to-move-in, chain-free period flat with long-lease security and clear scope for future improvement.
