Description

An utterly gorgeous one-bedroom split-level Victorian conversion flat at the top of Waldegrave Road, moments from Belvedere Road and the conservation area. Offering a beautifully designed space, which is finished to a standard we can’t recall seeing in a one-bedroom flat locally. It also comes with a share of freehold and is on the top floor of an impeccably maintained period building that's clearly been loved by its residents.As soon as you step inside, you can feel the quality here; this isn't your standard conversion – every element has been chosen with an eye for luxury and contemporary design that complements the building's Victorian bones. As you enter the flat, your eyes are drawn to the bespoke carpentry on the stairs and floors, which sets an expectation for the rest of the flat, and it’s one that is delivered on!Once in and up those gorgeous stairs, you’ll find the kitchen, which is a masterclass in modern design with its graphite-grey handleless cabinetry and crisp white quartz worktops that catch the light beautifully. The clever layout makes the most of every inch, giving you tons of storage and prep space. High-end integrated appliances, including a gas hob, electric oven and Bosch washing machine, mean this is a proper cook's kitchen and isn’t just stylish, form and function! There's a lovely detail in the glass-brick window that lets light flow between the kitchen and hall, and the large porcelain floor tiles are not only gorgeous but practical, too.The living room is unsurprisingly very stylish; it has an attractive sash window and the same high-quality wood floor running throughout the rest of the flat. There’s a bespoke entertainment and media cabinet that provides incredibly useful storage and also allows you to style the room as you wish.The bedroom continues the home's sophisticated vibe. It has another cute sash window with a southeastern aspect, which catches the light in the morning. The room has a minimalist feel, purely because there is so much storage off the hall, negating the need to clutter it with wardrobes.The bathroom feels like it’s straight out of a boutique Manhattan hotel; it screams lux, but is also very practical. Striking that perfect balance between style and functionality with its classic white suite and bathtub with overhead integrated rain shower, it’s fully tiled, and we particularly love the contrast between the gloss and the textured tiles, it’s a great place to pamper yourself.Tenure-wise, the flat has a share of freehold, which is worth its weight in gold – it gives you a real say in how the building is maintained, and it gives you the peace of mind that comes from knowing your neighbours care as much about the place as you do. One look at the immaculate common areas tells you everything you need to know about the pride taken in this building. Currently, any works are done on an ad-hoc basis, and there are no formal service charges or ground rent. The accompanying lease is 998 years.Location-wise, you'll be hard-pressed to find a more convenient spot for the best Crystal Palace has to offer. Crystal Palace Station is 0.2 mi away, or a five-minute walk (according to Google Maps) providing direct trains to London Bridge, Victoria, and the Overland taking you to Shoreditch and beyond.At the end of Waldegrave 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 great 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, 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 two 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’s host to many music and cultural events throughout the year and 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 & 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 independent!   EPC Rating: D
