This penthouse apartment occupies the top floor of a well-maintained, age-restricted development backing directly onto Kelsey Park. At approximately 1,492 sq ft (138 sqm) the accommodation feels like a small house: a large living room with two Juliet balconies, a generous kitchen/breakfast room and substantial entrance hall with plentiful storage.
Designed for comfortable, low-maintenance living, the building benefits from lift access from the basement car park and two allocated garage spaces. The development is mature and attractive, with manicured communal grounds and direct park access that provide privacy, greenery and pleasant outlooks from many rooms.
Practical strengths include long lease length (share of freehold), mains gas central heating, double glazing and a layout that suits single-floor living. The property is in a highly desirable, affluent area with excellent bus links, nearby shops and good local schools; Beckenham Junction and tram/train connections to central London are readily accessible.
Buyers should note the development is age-exclusive (55+), so it’s suited to downsizers or retirees rather than families. Council tax is described as quite expensive and broadband speeds are average — relevant if high-speed connectivity is a priority. The double glazing was installed before 2002; while the apartment is well presented, buyers should factor potential modernisation or future maintenance into their plans.
