2 Bedroom Apartment, Rusholme Grove, London, SE19

This well-presented and spacious three-bedroom flat is on the first floor of a very well-run building in a modern block on the Dulwich Estate. It is tucked away in a very quiet spot a short walk from Gipsy Hill Station (0.2 mi) and Crystal Palace Triangle. The property is offered with a super long lease of 139 years, low service charges (£105 pcm), and off-street parking.

An ideal first-time purchase, this flat certainly ticks the boxes when it comes to location. It is perfectly positioned for any potential commute from Gipsy Hill Station, as well as brunches, lunches, and nights out on Crystal Palace Triangle! For those who like the outdoors, it is also a short walk from Crystal Palace Park, and for last-minute groceries, coffee, pharmacy etc, the neighbouring parade on Gipsy Road offers some valuable amenities.  

The flat is positioned on the first floor and has a glorious southwest-facing aspect, meaning it gets the sun from mid-morning through to late afternoon. The semi-open-plan kitchen and living room especially benefit from this aspect, and owing to their large windows that span almost floor to ceiling, create a living space that really does have a fantastically bright feel to it.  

The reception is large enough to have a defined dining area and a spacious lounge, and the open-plan arrangement makes for a brilliantly social space when entering. The kitchen itself offers masses of worktop space and plentiful storage. Although there is an opportunity to add some value by giving this space a bit of a revamp, there’s also scope to add a breakfast bar or an island if desired!

To the rear of the flat are three bedrooms, two of which are almost identical in size and the third is larger. They all have an eastern aspect, which makes for brilliantly bright spaces first thing in the morning. The main bedroom has a dual aspect, making it super bright, as mentioned one window is east facing, and its additional window faces south, there’s also a built-in wardrobe and if desired the large cupboard in the hall could be knocked through to this bedroom to create another built-in wardrobe.

In addition to the large and super deep aforementioned cupboard, there’s also further storage in the hall, with two large built-in cupboards that are incredibly useful and make this such a practical flat. Speaking of practicality, the WC is separate from the bathroom, allowing two people to get ready in the morning simultaneously! The bathroom and toilet are both beautifully finished, with large quality tiles and modern sanitaryware.

The flat has…

·      A lease of 139 Years remaining

·      A service charge of £105 PCM

·      No ground rent

·      The council tax is Band D in the borough of Southwark, which is £1792.98 PA

Location-wise, the flat is 0.2mi from Gipsy Hill station, which is a 4-minute walk according to google maps, giving access to London Bridge & Victoria as well as the city, Shoreditch and East London.

The flat is in a very prominent location for the Triangle, where you are spoilt for choice with restaurants, pubs, brilliant eateries, there’s an Everyman Cinema, yoga schools, and the list goes on! There is also a Sainsbury’s supermarket 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 on The Trianlge and the choice of coffee shops is just dazzling. The nearest pub is the Great Southern, just next to Gipsy Hill Station, which is highly regarded. 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.
