1 bed flat for sale

Whiteley Road, London SE19

A chain-free garden flat on Whiteley Road, that gives you that rare London combo – your own private outside space, a killer location and a share of freehold with a long lease in excess of 900 years. It has an impressive square footage, and the cherry on top is that it’s chain-free!

The flat has a huge degree of privacy, as it’s on the lower ground floor of a handsome Victorian building, so you get your own private entrance and a private garden, with direct access. The garden is perfect for summer BBQs or morning coffee, and with the two sections of the garden (the decked patio and the main garden), you have flexibility on how you can use the space, with the patio giving privacy for al fresco dining.

The vibe inside strikes that sweet spot between period charm and modern living. It boasts a new kitchen and a quality bathroom, and it is offered in turnkey condition, ideal for those who don’t want to, or can’t do, work on their next home.

The overall space is generous, to say the least, and the space is well distributed; nothing feels like it’s a compromise. The bedroom is a genuinely impressive-sized room, allowing huge scope for the biggest bed you can find and wardrobes to satisfy the most committed fashionistas!

The kitchen oozes class; its taupe-coloured units pair so well with hexagonal floor tiles, but it is also super practical, and its L-shaped arrangement makes incredible use of the space, offering lots of prep space and, of course, masses of storage. The bathroom, which has an over-bath shower, is also easy to keep clean and looking fresh with the fully tiled walls and floor. It also has that all-important window for ventilation.

Moving outside, the garden is the jewel in the crown! It’s approx. 50-60 feet long and has great width, too. As mentioned, there’s a decked area directly off the flat, which is ideal for entertaining, and there’s a large lawn and established pretty borders. This garden will be the envy of some local houses and makes this flat the kind of asset you want to secure as a first-time purchase.

Although Whiteley Road is a short walk to Crystal Palace Triangle, it’s quiet and peaceful, and it also has a genuine sense of community, with lovely neighbours and an active WhatsApp group who are always willing to help if you need a cat sitter, a cup of rice or half a lemon! All the advantages of living in London, with a bit of a village feel.

If you’re craving green space, Norwood Park is 0.2 miles away, with its Montessori nursery, skate park and cool café. There are also pretty epic views over central London, with the skyline soaring over the green space. Dogs (and their owners) will be happy to hear Crystal Palace Park is a short stroll away and Dulwich Park is also within walking distance. If you like your Parkrun hilly, you’ll love Saturday mornings at Crystal Palace.

Tenure-wise, the flat has a share of freehold with a long lease in excess of 900 years. There is no service charge or ground rent.

Transport-wise, you’re spoilt for choice. Gipsy Hill station, with its links to London Bridge, Victoria and Clapham Junction is 0.2 miles away, so less than ten minutes’ walk. Don’t forget to say hello to Fanny, the resident station cat who’s something of a local celebrity. Nearby Crystal Palace station will also take you to Canada Water and Shoreditch High Street on the East London Line and you’re on. You’re close to good primary and secondary schools, with ducks and Dulwich Prep easily accessible.

Locals love the Crystal Palace triangle, with its gastro-pubs, cafes, restaurants and vibrant mix of independent shops. A brunch at Bloom Café, a film at the Everyman Cinema or a class at The Yoga Edge are just some of the options for your Saturday. And don’t forget to browse the local furniture shops and markets with their mid-century classics.

Crystal Palace’s answer to Borough Market, Haynes Lane, brings together local food producers and small sustainable farmers on a Saturday. Swing by Crystal Palace Park on a Sunday and you can catch the outdoor food market and grab a coffee and breakfast at the family-friendly Brown and Green café.
