1 Bedroom Apartment, Thicket Road, London, SE20

A fantastic one-bedroom conversion flat on the second floor of a grand Victorian building, which is offered chain free. This charming flat offers a good distribution of space and is in a very well-managed building in a brilliant position near Crystal Palace Park, multiple train stations and The Triangle.

The space in this flat is used brilliantly and really is well distributed, the living space especially, as its semi-open plan to the kitchen, which makes for a really social layout, and is great for when you have friends and family over! It's a bright room and offers plenty of space for a large sofa and a dining table or desk if wanted. It overlooks the communal garden to the rear and enjoys a western aspect, making it super bright in the afternoon.

The kitchen is in a horseshoe configuration which gives you lots of worktop space and also storage, if wanted, a larger worktop would create an overhang to make a breakfast bar. It has a south-west facing window which allows light to flood in from late morning through to the late afternoon.

The bedroom is a good-sized double room, with ample space for a double bed, wardrobes and drawers or a dresser, it’s conveniently located opposite the bathroom, which has a shower over a full-size bath, fully tiled walls, modern sanitaryware and another southwest facing window.

There’s a well-kept communal garden for the residents to use, it’s maintained by the management company, who are instructed by the co-freeholders, most of whom are active in the running of the building. Notably, the building is currently undertaking a renovation project with many major items complete ensuring the building’s health for the future.

Location-wise, the flat is 0.2 mi from the Park entrance (approx. 3 min walk), with the nearest part being the boating lake and Dinosaurs. Anerley station is also 0.3 mi away, giving access to the overland line making access to The City and Shoreditch a breeze. Crystal Palace Station is also 0.3 mi away and gives direct access to London Bridge as well as Victoria (via Forest Hill); having multiple station options within easy reach is a real asset of this location; it’s also a popular road for its architecture, and as is found across London on roads that border our large parks, the buildings are huge and have a sense of grandeur about them.

The Triangle is 0.6 mi away, where you are spoilt for choice with restaurants, pubs, brilliant eateries, and even an Everyman Cinema. There’s a yoga school, a variety of coffee shops, from the indie artisanal variety to the bigger chains.

For the practical stuff and bigger shops, there is a reasonably sized Sainsbury’s 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, think of it as a local Borough Market with a distinct Crystal Palace vibe, and the infamous Chatsworth Bakehouse is 0.1 mi away, meaning you can roll out of bed and be there in a blink of an eye on a Saturday morning 🤭
