1 Bedroom Flat, Thicket Grove, London, SE20

A very well-presented one-bedroom ground floor flat with off-street parking in a purpose-built development a few minutes from Crystal Palace Park, Station and Anerley Road, putting some of the best local businesses on your doorstep! Offered to the market with a long lease (154 years).

Situated on the ground floor of a contemporary and very well-maintained building, this lovely home would make a great first-time purchase. It has a hassle-free long lease and is in a convenient spot, especially for transport, with Crystal Palace Station only 0.2 mi away.

The reception room has enough space for a comfortable lounge and a dining area, It’s neutral in décor and bright owing to its southeast-facing aspect. It has laminate wood floors and is semi-open to the kitchen. The kitchen is arranged in a horseshoe configuration, which creates plentiful prep space and masses of storage. It’s a well-equipped kitchen with an integrated hob and oven, washing machine, fridge, and freezer—everything you need!

The generously proportioned bedroom has space for a wardrobe and dressers. It has the same fantastic southeast-facing aspect as the reception space, so it is very bright from morning through early afternoon. Anyone who suffers from allergens will appreciate the laminate flooring, which runs throughout and into the bedroom.

The bathroom is a lovely space. It is nicely done, with a shower over a full-size bath, partially tiled walls, and modern sanitaryware that really complements the décor. The all-important windows provide plenty of ventilation. Worth mentioning is the large storage cupboard in the hall adjacent to the bathroom; it’s essentially like having a large loft but in your hallway!!

We believe the flat has…
…a lease of 154 years
…a service charge in the region of £1500 Per Annum
…no ground rent
…a council tax banding of C, which is £1,733.07 PA and is in the Bromley borough

Location-wise, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more convenient spot. Crystal Palace Station is 0.2 mi away, or a six-minute walk (according to Google Maps). It provides direct trains to London Bridge and Victoria, and the overland takes you to Shoreditch and beyond.

On your doorstep, just on Anerley Road, you have a Tesco Express for the essentials, then there’s Café Chic (a stunning Persian Café), whose falafel & halloumi wraps are our favourites, their coffee’s pretty damn good too, and their garden is the spot for an al-fresco brunch or lunch. Next door to Chic, there’s a Bob Wines and a few other incredible places you’ll love living next door to, such as the beloved Chatsworth Bakehouse (which is 361ft away!), where locals queue for Sian & Tom’s insanely good sandwiches, focaccia, brownies & pizzas, and then there’s a more recent and very welcome addition to the neighbourhood in the Crystal Palace Wine Club, an intimate but quality wine bar which is thankfully only a few minute walk away, which no doubt you’ll appreciate at the end of the night!

Crystal Palace Park is just next to the station (0.2 mi away from the flat), offering 200 acres of listed parkland, It is host to many music and cultural events throughout the year and is loved for its boating lake, concert bowl, national sports centre and of course, its Dinosaurs!

Slightly further away is our much-loved “Triangle,” where you can find the best gastropubs, coffee shops, vintage furniture and clothes shops, art galleries, an everyman cinema, and, of course, the much-loved Haynes Lane food market. You wouldn’t ever need to leave the Triangle; it has everything, and thankfully, it’s largely all independent!
