2 bed flat for sale

Elmers End Road, London SE20

A brilliant two-bedroom first-floor flat with the rare luxury of two bathrooms, scope to create an open-plan living space, and a share of freehold on Elmers End Road - perfectly positioned for commuters and couples wanting to get onto the property ladder in SE20. Offered to the market chain free.

This flat ticks so many boxes it's almost unfair! You get a share of freehold, two proper bedrooms, two full bathrooms (including an en-suite - how often do you see that in a conversion flat at this price?), and the whole place has been kept in fantastic condition by owners who clearly care about their home. Plus, there's genuine potential to add value by opening up the kitchen to the living room.

Walking into the main reception room, you'll immediately appreciate how well this conversion has been done. It's a proper living space with a lovely bay window that floods the room with natural light, and there's enough space for a big sofa, dining table, and all those bits that make a place feel like home. The current owners have styled it beautifully - that vintage leather trunk as a coffee table, loads of books, plants everywhere, and you can see how the space works for both relaxing and entertaining.

The kitchen is currently separate, which some people love for containing cooking smells and mess, but we reckon there's real scope to knock through that wall and create a much more valuable open-plan layout. Imagine having your morning coffee while chatting to whoever's making breakfast, or hosting dinner parties where you're not stuck in the kitchen while everyone else is having fun! The kitchen itself is well laid out with decent storage, proper worktop space, and room for all your appliances.

Now, let's talk about those bedrooms, the main bedroom is a genuinely good size - you can fit a proper king-size bed plus wardrobes and still move around comfortably. But here's the real treat: It has its own en-suite shower room! That's gold dust in a conversion flat. The en-suite is beautifully done with those striking black mosaic tiles that look expensive and sophisticated, plus there's a proper shower cubicle, not some poky corner unit.

The second bedroom works brilliantly as a guest room, home office, or whatever you need it to be. It's got built-in storage set up the wall (clever use of space!), and there's room for a desk by the window if you're working from home. The current setup shows exactly how flexible this room can be.

But wait, there's more! The main bathroom is another proper room with a full-size bath, perfect for those weekend soaks when you need to decompress. Having two bathrooms means no more morning queues, no arguments about who's hogging the shower, and when you have guests over, everyone's comfortable. It's one of those things that seems like a luxury until you have it, then you wonder how you ever lived without it.

The whole flat is beautifully presented - you can tell the current owners have looked after it properly. Everything feels fresh and well-maintained, from the neutral colour scheme that lets you add your own personality, to the quality fixtures and fittings throughout. The 545 square feet are used really intelligently, with proper storage solutions and thoughtful touches like the built-in shelving.

Tenure-wise, the flat has a share of freehold with an accompanying lease of 978 years; as it is a share of freehold, there is no ground rent, and the service charge is set by the co-freeholders in the building, which is currently £100 per month.

Elmers End Road puts you right in the sweet spot for transport links. Anerley station is a short walk away, with access to the Overground on the Windrush line it’s a super convenient transport link. You're also perfectly placed for Birkbeck station, which is just down the road and gives you access to Beckenham Junction, great for a meal out at Beckenham High St or a connection to London Bridge & Victoria. The area has a brilliant mix of local amenities - proper independent shops, cafes that know your order, and that community feel that makes SE20 special.

You're close enough to Crystal Palace to enjoy all the restaurants and nightlife, but without paying the SE19 price tag. As mentioned, Beckenham High Street is easily accessible for bigger shopping trips, and you've got South Norwood Country Park for when you need proper green space and fresh air.
