2 Bedroom Flat, Farquhar Road, Cotman Court, SE19

Over 700 sq ft | 2 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom | Stunning Interior | West-Facing Balcony | Beautiful Communal Gardens | Private Garage | 141-Year Lease | No Chain

Located in a beautifully green setting, moments from Crystal Palace Park, the Triangle and the two stations, is this stylish two-bedroom apartment in Cotman Court. Designed by the same architects famed for the celebrated Dulwich Estate Towers next door, this home has been thoughtfully reimagined by its current owners, blending intelligent spatial planning, bespoke craftsmanship, and natural light to create a space that feels both functional and uplifting.

The open-plan living and dining area is the heart of the home. With its attractive rubber flooring and spacious layout, it's a bright, calm and beautifully designed space, with large west-facing windows that frame treetop views and flood the room with warm afternoon light. Off the living space is the private balcony — a peaceful spot for morning coffees, evening drinks or a slow weekend breakfast.

The layout makes sense for how we actually live today — with clear definition between lounging, dining, and cooking zones, but without unnecessary walls getting in the way. There’s plenty of room for a dining table, and the space naturally invites gatherings, whether for quiet dinners or a crowd of friends spilling onto the balcony as the sun dips behind the gardens.

The kitchen is entirely bespoke — designed with clean lines, clever storage, and a warm, tactile material palette. Built-in cabinetry wraps around in a U-shape, maximising workspace while keeping everything within easy reach. Integrated appliances are seamlessly tucked away, and open shelving adds personality and practicality in equal measure.

Both bedrooms are beautifully finished and thoughtfully arranged. The main bedroom has a relaxed, hotel-like feel, with a soft contrast of dark and light tones and leafy views through a large picture window.

The second bedroom is currently used as a flexible work-from-home and guest space — a reminder of the versatility of this layout. Full-height shelving and fitted cabinetry make it ideal for anyone balancing hybrid work life with the need for a calm and ordered space.

The bathroom continues the home’s modern design language — fully tiled with a grid layout that nods to classic mid-century geometry. A full-size bath with overhead shower, mirrored cabinetry, and a wooden shelf detail brings warmth and practicality to the space.

The balcony is a real asset here — facing west, it enjoys golden-hour light and a view across the mature communal gardens below. It’s large enough for a café table and chairs, a few plants, or even a compact herb garden.

Below, the communal gardens are a genuine highlight. Expansive, private, and framed by established trees, they offer an unexpected green escape just moments from the buzz of the Triangle.

Location

Farquhar Road needs little introduction. Moments from the heart of Crystal Palace, you’re perfectly positioned between green space and city life.

“The Triangle” is just a short stroll away and offers one of South London’s most vibrant high streets — full of great coffee spots, creative independents, and local favourites. You’ve got an eclectic mix of pubs, such as the highly regarded Alma pub, (the fried cauliflower really is that good), The White Hart delivers the classic neighbourhood pub experience, and the sparrowhawk is lively pub but with excellent food on the menu.

If you have a sweet tooth, you’ll love Blowing Dandelions, known for artisan chocolate and cakes. Then there’s Brown & Green, just opposite, which serves the kind of brunches that turn into lazy afternoons. For coffee purists, Four Boroughs is nearby and has a loyal following for their cinnamon danishes and kimchi wraps.

On Church Road, you’ll find the beautiful art deco Everyman Cinema, Plaster (as featured in Elle magazine) for nails and beauty, and a well-rated hot yoga studio if you’re feeling virtuous — followed, perhaps, by a stop at Urban Cellar, where Alison and her team will guide you through an exceptional range of wines and craft beers.

Westow Street and Westow Hill complete the picture, offering even more restaurants, pubs, and shops, plus a large Sainsbury’s for the essentials. Down Haynes Lane, the Saturday Food Market is a must-visit, showcasing local producers with artisan bread, cheeses, and pastries.

When it’s time to commute, Gipsy Hill and Crystal Palace stations are both within easy reach, providing quick connections to London Bridge, Victoria, Shoreditch, and East London. Gipsy Hill is a mere six minute walk away (0.3 mi by foot) and Crystal Palace Station is a 13 minute walk (0.6 mi by foot).

And of course, at the end of the road lies Crystal Palace Park — 200 acres of Grade II* listed greenery, home to the National Sports Centre, Olympic-sized pool, and a roster of activities you won’t find at your average gym — from beach volleyball to trampolining.

In summary:
Cotman Court offers something rare — a design-led apartment in a prime SE19 location, with real architectural integrity, incredible light, and access to some of the area’s most beautiful gardens. It’s a ready-made home for anyone who values style, practicality, and the unmatched lifestyle of Crystal Palace.
