1 Bedroom Flat, Lansdowne Place, London, SE19

Nestled quite literally in the heart of the renowned Crystal Palace Triangle, this beautiful one-bedroom apartment is a true gem. Situated on the top floor of a well run development, it gets fantastic light, it’s super quiet and is really right in the middle of Crystal Palace.

Location is everything and few central Triangle locations can offer the peace and quiet of Lansdowne Place. Once forming the parish boundary, it’s tucked away just behind Church Rd and puts everything the Triangle has to offer on your doorstep (except for the noise and traffic!), it truly is a premier location that puts the immense lifestyle benefits of Crystal Palace on your doorstep.

The flat is located on the top floor and doesn’t have another flat above or on three sides of it, which makes it very quiet. At almost 700ft2, it has impressive square footage, the size of many local two-bedroom flats. The distribution of space here is noteworthy. There is a large eat-in kitchen that is really nicely finished. There is also a large reception room with windows on two sides. One side faces east, which gets the morning sun, and the other faces west, which gets the afternoon and evening light.

The bedroom faces east, so it gets that morning sun, and it has a vast amount of storage space, which you could describe as a walk-in wardrobe, although this could be removed to create a much larger bedroom if desired. The bathroom is beautifully finished, with a shower over a freestanding roll-top bath; it has a lux feel to it. It’s finished off with white wall tiles mixed with heritage-style tiles on the floor and back wall.

Tenure-wise, the flat has…

• A long lease of 105 years

• A ground rent of £250 PA

• A service charge of circa £2000 PA

Location-wise, the flat is ideally located seconds away from the vibrant Crystal Palace Triangle, offering an array of trendy cafes, great coffee shops, commendable restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and vintage furniture shops. Seconds away on Church Road, there’s an Everyman Cinema, a yoga school and one of the best coffee shops in the area in “Four Boroughs”.

There’s a strong local community based around the triangle and a distinctly arty & creative vibe, which is reflected in the local businesses; most are independent, which locals are rightfully proud of. An example of this is the Haynes Lane market, operating on Saturdays; it offers the best fresh produce, including cheese, bread, meats and vegetarian options; it is well worth the short stroll on a Saturday morning!

Crystal Palace is of course renowned for its leafy streets and green spaces, including the stunning Crystal Palace Park, which provides an idyllic setting for outdoor activities and leisurely strolls, it spans 200 acres, which will help you while away the weekends and offers plenty of space to exercise, not to mention the renowned Grade II listed Crystal Palace Dinosaurs which date back to the 1850s. Westow Park is moments away too, as is Stambourne Woods, a hidden gem of natural tranquillity, so that’s over 210 acres of outdoor space to enjoy on your doorstep!

The flat also has excellent transport links, including Crystal Palace Overground station (0.5 mi away) & also Gipsy Hill stations (0.6 mi away, downhill!) making the commute into central London easy; there are direct links to London Bridge, Victoria, Shoreditch and beyond. Nearby is also the SL6 express bus, which runs non-stop from West Norwood to Waterloo and terminates in Russell Square, providing another easy option into central London. For those wanting to venture further afield, access to Dulwich, Brixton & Clapham is easy from Crystal Palace, offering more options for restaurants and nights out.
