1 Bedroom Ground Floor Flat, Edith Road, London, SE25

A charming ground-floor Victorian conversion garden flat on a very quiet residential road, located 0.2 mi from Selhurst station, offered to the market with no onward chain, a share of freehold and a 992-year lease!

This charming flat ticks all the boxes! It’s well-presented and has a fantastic distribution of space, every room is very well-proportioned. The garden is completely private to this flat and we think the flat has scope to extend into the garden, with the potential to make it a two bedroom if wanted.

Accommodation-wise, the reception is at the front of the building, which has a southern aspect, giving the room amazing light from morning through to the afternoon. There’s double glazing, which helps keep the flat cosy and the energy bills in check! There are quality wood floors which run throughout the flat, which is a nice touch.  

The bedroom is in the middle of the flat and, as mentioned, has the same wooden floors as the rest of the flat. There are attractive French doors which open onto the side return and give access to the garden, and there’s a large built-in wardrobe and a trendy modern vertical radiator!

Along the hall to the rear of the flat is some useful storage, and beyond that is a recently installed kitchen and dining space. This space is incredibly bright owing to the expansive windows and is finished to a very high standard. The dining room is large enough for a decent-sized dining table, allowing you to host your friends and family comfortably!

The kitchen is incredibly well-finished; the units are an attractive blue/grey tone that compliments the solid wood worktops incredibly well. There’s no shortage of worktop space and storage is plentiful too! The fridge freezer, oven, microwave & hob are all integrated, which makes for a very seamless modern feeling space.

The bathroom is another stunning space, the attractive hexagonal floor tiles continue through from the kitchen and up two of the bathroom walls, making a nice feature, around the bath there are white metro tiles which really help brighten the space. There is a rain shower over a shower bath, with a separate shower attachment, which is fab when washing hair or cleaning the bath, there’s a heated towel rail which is always useful and the bathroom has the all-important window for ventilation!

The garden is a bit of a blank canvas; there’s definitely scope to extend into it and still have a decent-sized garden left, or you could install a garden office, which would make a great space to work from home in.

Location-wise, the flat is (0.2mi/4mins according to Google Maps) from Selhurst  Station, with direct trains to both London Bridge & London Victoria, which places the flat within a very easy commute to most places in London.

There is a diverse and growing mix of eateries and drinking spots in South Norwood, including the Craft Beer Cabin, Café Yahe Noha, and Mama Dough for incredible pizza. Yah-So Caribbean is another popular Jamaican bar/restaurant that you’ll find yourself visiting time and time again!

The area is also blessed with beautiful parks of different types, including Norwood Lake & Grounds, also Grangewood Park, which is part of the old ‘Great North Wood’ and is full of amazing mature oaks (plus very diverse fungus and wildflowers), Whitehorse Meadow, Norwood Country Park (which has a Park Run) and of course Crystal Palace park which is within easy reach.

Norwood Junction Station is 0.8 mi away, offering links to Blackfriars, the City Thameslink and Kings Cross, which is also on the Overground, stopping at Penge, Sydenham, Forest Hill, Brockley, New Cross, Wapping and further into the East & the City, Shoreditch, then Highbury & Islington etc. There is also a direct train link to Gatwick and you can easily access Crystal Palace, Gipsy Hill & West Norwood by bus and car.
