2 Bedroom Apartment, Church Road, London, SE19

A stunning split-level two bedroom two bathroom flat in the heart of Crystal Palace, quite literally with The Triangle on its doorstep. Offering secure gated off-street parking a luxury finish, and a truly enviable location!

Offering generous square footage over two floors, with a separation of living and bedroom space, there’s almost 900 ft2 of space on offer here. The living space is on the ground floor level and is set up fantastically for entertaining; with a large open-plan kitchen/diner with a breakfast bar, it’s an ideal space for having friends over and being able to entertain whilst cooking!

The kitchen space is organised really well, with a central island it lends itself well to being a social space; the large cooker built into the island faces towards the dining and living space, which is a nice touch; there’s also an overhang on the island allowing it to double up as a breakfast bar. There are solid worktops in the kitchen, integrated appliances and masses of storage; it also feels really bright owing to the southwest-facing window.

There’s space for a decent dining table in the kitchen/diner, and the current owners have built-in a nifty desk area into one corner, ideal for when working from home. This space gives way to the reception room, which has a wonderfully bright southeast aspect, getting the morning and early afternoon sun; there are the same beautiful hardwood floors found throughout the ground floor space. The living room window is impressive, retaining the period sash style with the original surrounds; it’s a fantastic period feature, and with the plantation shutter, it allows the light to enter whilst giving you some privacy if needed.

On the half-landing is a toilet, which is a thoughtful addition for when you have guests over, as both bathrooms are on the floor below and are en-suites. The bedrooms are both generous double rooms; the master has built-in wardrobes and a larger en-suite that has a rain shower over a bath; there are also French doors that open up onto a small terrace. The second bedroom has a nice bright southeast aspect like the front room and has a shower in the en-suite which is finished in matching tiles to the master bedroom’s en-suite.

The flat has a lease in the region of 120 years, and the building has the right to manage, making their service charge only £150 pm, and the ground rent is £150 pa.

Location-wise, the flat is in a very prominent location, literally on the edge of the Triangle, where you are spoilt for choice with restaurants, pubs, brilliant eateries, there’s an Everyman Cinema literally across the road, yoga schools, and the list goes on! There is also a Sainsbury’s supermarket next door and the wonderful Crystal Palace Food Market on Haynes Lane, which operates every Saturday offering the best from small sustainable farmers and local food producers. Brunch, dinner and cocktails are all catered for within moments of the house, and the choice of coffee shops is just dazzling.

Both Gipsy Hill & Crystal Palace Stations are just half a mile away, giving access to London Bridge & Victoria as well as the city, Shoreditch and East London.

Westow Park is literally next door, offering almost 7 acres of well-manicured parkland with a children's playground and seating, it’s a site of local importance for nature conservation and being literally next door will likely become your own garden! Crystal Palace Park is also within very easy reach, which offers 200 acres of grade 2 listed grounds to enjoy, it also houses the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre with its Olympic swimming pool, a gym, squash courts and a few activities you wouldn’t find at your average gym including trampolining, beach volleyball and an on-site physio.
