Description

A stunning three-bedroom top-floor flat with generous square footage, far-reaching views, no neighbours above, and serious style credentials thanks to creative upgrades throughout. Offered to the market with a long lease.

This flat is what happens when you get the perfect combination of new-build convenience and owners who actually have taste! Being on the top floor means you get all the benefits - no footsteps overhead, neighbours on just one side (rather than three), and those gorgeous southeast views that flood the place with light from morning through to late afternoon. Plus, you're buying into a development that's still got that new-home smell, with everything working exactly as it should.

The open-plan living space is properly impressive - it's the kind of space where you can prep dinner while friends hang around with drinks, and the whole area flows beautifully between cooking, dining, and relaxing. The current owners have upgraded the kitchen with those clever open shelving systems that actually look good (not just functional), and every appliance is integrated and stays put. The dining table setup shows exactly how well this space works for entertaining, and those floor-to-ceiling windows make everything feel even more spacious than the generous square footage suggests.

But let's talk about what makes this flat special - the thoughtful upgrades the vendors have added. That flooring throughout isn't builder-standard stuff, it's proper quality that feels luxurious underfoot and creates this seamless flow between rooms. And those bathrooms! The family bathroom with that gorgeous turquoise tiling is like having a spa at home - bold but sophisticated and the kind of design choice that shows real confidence. The en-suite keeps the colour theme going with coordinating blues, creating this cohesive feel throughout the flat that you rarely see in new developments.

The bespoke storage solutions are genius - that media unit with the ribbed wood detailing isn't something you'll find in every flat, and the way they've maximised space in the bedrooms with clever built-ins means every room actually functions properly. The primary bedroom is a proper sanctuary with that four-poster bed setup and en-suite access, while the second bedroom has access to the main bathroom, as jack and jill en-suite, of sorts.  

The third bedroom currently doubles as a music room (check out those guitars on the wall!), which perfectly demonstrates the flexibility of these spaces. Home office, guest room, nursery, creative space - these rooms are big enough to be whatever you need them to be, and they all get brilliant natural light.

The balcony is a proper asset, not just a token outdoor space. It's big enough for actual furniture and dining, faces southwest so you get sun from mid-morning until late afternoon, and those views across the parkland make you forget you're in London. The current owners have styled it perfectly with that outdoor dining setup and plants that show how much you can do with the space.

Being new-build means all the practical stuff is sorted - efficient heating, proper insulation, modern electrics, and none of those nasty surprises you get with older properties; this flat has allocated gated parking, too! The 242-year lease gives you total peace of mind, and while the service charge is a very reasonable £2000 PA, for a development like this, that is really impressive, and the ground rent is circa £500 PA. That's the beauty of buying in a well-managed new development - the big infrastructure work gets done properly from the start.

The location is absolutely spot-on for anyone needing commuting links, You're 0.4 miles from Anerley Station - basically a pleasant walk that you'll actually enjoy - with multiple other stations within easy reach including Penge East for direct City access and Crystal Palace for London Bridge and Victoria. Having options means you're never stuck when there are delays or engineering works.

The local scene is brilliant and getting better all the time. Café Chic is practically on your doorstep doing those incredible Persian wraps that'll become your weekend ritual, Chatsworth Bakehouse has queues for good reason (those focaccia sandwiches!), and Crystal Palace Wine Club gives you somewhere proper to take dates or unwind after work without having to trek across London.

Crystal Palace Triangle offers everything you could want for weekends - independent shops, great restaurants, Everyman cinema, and that farmers market that'll ruin you for supermarket shopping. The park is massive and hosts everything from concerts to boat trips, plus those famous dinosaurs that never get old.

This flat offers something genuinely rare - all the benefits of new-build quality and the peace and privacy of top-floor living, and the kind of thoughtful design touches that make it feel like a proper home rather than a show flat. For anyone wanting to move into something special without the stress of renovation projects or nasty surprises, it's exactly the kind of place that makes you cancel other viewings and start planning how you'll arrange your furniture!
