Compact two‑bedroom with character, balcony and long lease near Gipsy Hill station.
Second-floor two bedroom period conversion with high ceilings
An elegantly presented two‑bedroom period conversion in the heart of Crystal Palace, this second‑floor apartment combines high ceilings and original character with contemporary finish. Chevron parquet flooring, decorative cornices and a bright open-plan kitchen/living room create an airy, refined living space that benefits from a westerly aspect and French doors to a small balcony.
Practical long-term ownership is supported by a 998-year lease and a share of the freehold, with a below-average annual service charge of £613.59 and affordable council tax. Integrated kitchen appliances, marble worktops and thoughtful storage make the property move-in ready for buyers seeking style and convenience close to transport and amenities.
Note the overall size is compact at 549 sq ft — two well-proportioned bedrooms but limited circulation and storage typical of period conversions. The building is a solid brick mid-terrace with assumed lack of cavity insulation; buyers sensitive to energy bills or requiring full modernisation should allow for possible upgrading and ventilation improvements. Local crime levels are above average, and some exterior images suggest possible damp/mould risk on external brickwork — a survey is recommended for peace of mind.
This apartment will suit first‑time buyers or couples prioritising location, period character and strong transport links. It sits moments from Gipsy Hill station, within easy reach of Crystal Palace’s shops, cafes and parkland, offering an attractive central base for commuting and weekend leisure.
