Description

 A contemporary two-bedroom flat with a west-facing terrace, communal garden, quality finishes and a 121-year lease (with a share of freehold to be granted shortly). Situated in a secure modern development with lift, within easy walking distance to Crystal Palace Triangle. Offered to the market with no onward chain, this impressive flat features thoughtful design and high-quality finishes throughout. Its spacious layout can be used flexibly and makes it ideal for those seeking a turn-key property. The reception room offers a bright, open-plan living area. It provides an excellent space for hosting guests, with the open layout allowing conversation to flow between the kitchen and living areas. Herringbone flooring extends through the reception, kitchen, and hallway, adding a refined touch. The room's dimensions allow for a substantial dining table and comfortable seating arrangements—whether a single large sofa or multiple smaller pieces. The kitchen matches the quality found throughout the property. It combines practicality with elegant design, featuring a grey colour scheme that complements the herringbone flooring. All appliances are integrated, including dishwasher, fridge-freezer, washing machine, oven, and induction cooker. The quartz worktops, drainage channels leading to the sink, and tiled backsplashes demonstrate the attention to detail in this space. Both bedrooms offer ample space for large beds and additional furniture such as wardrobes, desks, or dressers as needed. The rooms feel cosy with carpet underfoot and are wonderfully bright owing to the large floor-to-ceiling windows with a southern exposure, benefiting from natural light from morning until mid-afternoon. The bathroom is beautifully presented, with herringbone tiled flooring and a rain shower positioned over a full-sized bath, giving you the best of both worlds. Worth noting are two well-sized storage cupboards located opposite the bathroom, ideal for household essentials and larger items. The kitchen opens onto a spacious west-facing balcony that enjoys afternoon and evening sunlight—the optimal orientation for outdoor space. Its partially sheltered design extends its usability throughout the year. The area works well for quiet moments with a book, drink, or morning coffee while also accommodating small gatherings with its proximity to the kitchen, making it practical for entertaining. Pet owners will appreciate the communal garden at the rear, which is convenient for letting the dog out just before bed! The property includes… …a lease with 120 years remaining (with the building in the final stages of acquiring a share of freehold acquisition, expected to complete within days of this listing, resulting in no ground rent, a 999-year lease and lower service charges). …service charges of £240 monthly (to be reduced once the share of freehold is acquired). …ground rent at £350 annually (soon to be eliminated with the share of freehold) …council tax band C in Croydon borough, currently £2,103.91 annually Location-wise, the flat sits within easy reach of Crystal Palace Triangle, home to a selection of cafés, quality coffee shops, well-regarded restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and vintage furniture retailers. At the opposite end of Church Road, residents will find an Everyman Cinema and yoga studio. The Triangle supports a strong community spirit and a creative atmosphere, which is reflected in its predominantly independent businesses. This is a point of local pride. The Haynes Lane market exemplifies this. It operates on Saturdays and offers quality fresh produce, including cheese, bread, meats, and vegetarian options—well worth the short walk on Saturday mornings. Crystal Palace is known for its tree-lined streets and green spaces, including the impressive Crystal Palace Park, which provides an ideal setting for outdoor activities and walking. Spanning 200 acres, it offers ample room for exercise and leisure and features the notable Grade II-listed Crystal Palace Dinosaurs dating to the 1850s. Nearby Westow Park and Stambourne Woods provide additional natural retreats, totalling over 210 acres of outdoor space within walking distance. Transportation options include Crystal Palace Overground and Gipsy Hill stations, both 0.9 miles away (approximately 18 minutes walking according to Google Maps), providing straightforward commutes to central London with direct connections to London Bridge, Victoria, Shoreditch and beyond. The SL6 express bus runs from West Norwood to Waterloo and Russell Square, offering another convenient route to central London.
