A rare period penthouse arranged over the top two floors of an Edwardian detached house, this two-bedroom home combines generous internal space with a large private roof terrace ideal for entertaining. The principal suite includes a substantial en-suite with a walk-in double shower; a bonus room offers a home office or nursery. The open-plan living and dining area flows onto the main terrace, extending the footprint for socialising and outdoor relaxation. Allocated off-street parking and private gated access onto Beckenham Place Park add everyday convenience and lifestyle appeal.
The apartment sits in a very affluent, well-connected part of Beckenham with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and direct rail links to central London via Beckenham Junction and New Beckenham. Local schools include several Ofsted-rated Good and Outstanding primary and secondary options, making the location attractive to families and professionals who value space and access to green amenities.
Buyers should note this is in a Victorian/Edwardian structure built before 1900 with solid brick walls and no modern cavity insulation (assumed). The building’s age brings period character but also ongoing maintenance considerations; prospective purchasers should budget for potential upgrades to insulation and services. The property is offered on a share of freehold with a long lease, but council tax band and some service information are not stated and should be confirmed before committing.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful penthouse for someone seeking large internal rooms, significant outdoor space and convenient parking close to parks and transport. It will particularly suit buyers who value an expansive roof terrace and period features and who are prepared for the typical upkeep of an older, solid-wall building.
