2 Bedroom Flat, Anerley Road, London, SE20

A beautifully renovated ground floor Victorian conversion flat blending period charm with contemporary design. Ticking all the boxes, the flat has access to a garden, off-street parking, and a share of freehold, it is also conveniently positioned for fantastic transport links as well as the very best that Crystal Palace has to offer, just up the road!

The living room here is a statement! It’s the heart of this beautiful home and has some impressive features, including ceilings over 3 metres high, a large bay window with a southwest-facing aspect, period cornicing and a beautiful exposed brick chimney breast, which adds texture to the room. There’s space here to really entertain, and you can get 6 to 8 around a dining table easily!

The kitchen is equipped with sleek light grey cabinetry, wooden countertops, a gas hob and pale turquoise metro tile splashbacks. It's both practical and stylish with integrated appliances and the addition of a cleverly designed island will provide extra prep and storage space and give you a casual dining space, too.

Moving to the back of the flat, you’ll find the bedrooms, both of which get the sun from the east first thing in the morning. The primary bedroom (13'4" × 12'11") continues the bright, airy feel with impressively large windows that overlook the gardens. There's generous space for a super-king bed and additional furniture, although there is a huge integrated wardrobe, so you could leave the room slightly more minimalist. There’s another exposed brick feature wall, adding character to the room.

The second bedroom is a good size double room (15'6" × 7'5") and serves as a versatile multi-purpose space, its suitable as a home office or guest room. It also has a lovely feel to it. With three windows on two sides of the room, it gets fabulous light. It also has a nice exposed brick wall, which would make for a great background for all those WFH video calls!

The bathroom showcases a clean, contemporary aesthetic with pale blue tiling, a high-quality rain shower over a full-sized bath and an attractive heritage-style sink. There’s also a useful heated towel rail.

Outside, the private section of garden offers a gravelled space ideal for morning coffee or summer evenings, with room for outdoor furniture and potted plants, it gets the east and southern sun, and will also get some western sun depending on the time of year. There is also off-street parking on the driveway, particularly valuable in this location, and is also helpful if you owned an EV.

Tenure-wise, the flat has a share of freehold with an accompanying lease of 119 years.

The service charge is £100 a month, and of course, there is no ground rent.

Location-wise, the flat is really well positioned for transport and the great social aspects of living in this area. You’re only 0.2 miles (four-minute walk) from Anerley Station, which has access to the Overland’s Windrush line and also has direct trains to London Bridge during peak hours. Crystal Palace Station is just 0.7 miles away (a seven-minute walk), providing access to London Bridge, Victoria, Herne Hill, and Brixton.

The park is only 0.6 miles away, with the nearest entrance on Thicket Road leading to the boating lake and the famous dinosaurs, as well as the amazing Brown & Green Café and the food market on Sundays! Then there’s a 5k park run every Saturday at 9 a.m. for when you’ve overindulged in all the beautiful food the area offers.

Just slightly further up Anerley Road (0.5 miles away) are some much-loved businesses you’ll adore living near, such as Café Chic (go for the falafel & halloumi wraps), Bob Wines, and the incredibly popular Chatsworth Bakehouse, known for their exceptional sandwiches and focaccia (yes, the queues are worth it!).

A mile up the hill, on the Triangle, you have some of the best gastro pubs in South London, as well as an Everyman cinema, some stunning coffee shops, galleries, yoga schools and of course, the farmers market, held every Saturday on Haynes Lane.
