22ft kitchen/diner with integrated appliances and dining space
18ft reception room with south-easterly light and fitted storage

Two large bedrooms; principal bedroom includes en suite bathroom
Share of freehold and offered chain-free for quicker completion
Lease length and some service charge/insurance details TBC — verify
Solid brick walls (built 1900–1929) — likely need insulation/efficiency work
EPC D; local area shows higher deprivation and average crime levels
Light-filled, generously proportioned top-floor conversion on a quiet, tree-lined road close to Crystal Palace Triangle. The split-level layout gives a 22ft kitchen/diner ideal for entertaining, an 18ft reception room with south-easterly light, and two large bedrooms including an en suite — a rare two-bedroom plan at this size (approx. 1,055 sq ft).
Practical benefits include a share of the freehold, chain-free sale and excellent broadband and mobile signal for remote working. The building retains period character — high ceilings, sash windows and attractive external detailing — while much of the accommodation is finished to a contemporary standard, ready to move into.
Notable points to check: the lease length is not provided and some service/ground rent details and building insurance are listed as TBC; confirm remaining lease years before committing. The property dates from 1900–1929 and the original solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, so prospective buyers should allow for possible energy-efficiency improvements (EPC D). Council Tax Band B is affordable, but the local area shows higher deprivation indicators and average crime levels relative to London.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers or professionals who want generous, characterful accommodation within walking distance of shops, restaurants and rail links at Crystal Palace and Gipsy Hill. It offers immediate comfort with realistic scope for energy upgrades and long-term value in a popular, well-connected neighbourhood.
