2 bed flat for sale

Parish Lane, London SE20

Offered with a share of freehold, this charming first-floor two-bedroom flat on Parish Lane offers an attractive interior, with a great distribution of space. With a recently installed bathroom and a modern kitchen, this is a turnkey opportunity for someone wanting to be near the best Penge has to offer, as well as a fantastic commuter link in Penge East station (only 0.2m away)!

The reception room forms the heart of the flat and is a genuinely pleasant place to spend time. A large sash window draws in plenty of natural light, giving the room a bright, open feel while maintaining a sense of privacy as it isn’t overlooked. The room's proportions are good; there’s space for a proper seating area, with room left over for a dining table or desk, without the room feeling crowded. Built-in shelving allows for styling and offers practicality. It’s a versatile room that works equally well for relaxed evenings or informal entertaining, and with engineered flooring is easy to keep clean, whilst looking modern.

The kitchen sits just off the reception room and has been cleverly designed to make use of the space. The L-shape layout offers plenty of prep space, and the sleek white cabinetry contrasts beautifully against the dark worktops. There’s the all-important gas hob, and a window that brings in natural light and ventilation - always a welcome detail!

Both bedrooms are of reasonable size. The main bedroom comfortably accommodates a double bed and has integrated wardrobes on either side of the chimney breast. It feels calm and well-balanced, with good light and simple, neutral finishes. There’s engineered flooring again, making it easier to keep clean and allergen-free, especially if you want to keep a pet (note, cat not included!)

The second bedroom is ideal as a flexible space - equally suited to a guest room, nursery or a dedicated home office. Its proportions make it genuinely useful rather than a token second bedroom.

Recently installed, the bathroom is finished in a clean, contemporary style with a walk-in shower and overhead rain shower. Thoughtful tiling, modern fittings and a window for natural light and ventilation keep the space feeling fresh and practical. The dual windows create a very bright space and provide exceptional ventilation, which is always a top priority for buyers!

Location-wise, Parish Lane sits in a well-connected part of Penge, offering a balance of residential calm and excellent transport access, as well as easy access to the best lifestyle elements in the area.

Penge East Station is just 0.2 miles away, making it a genuinely easy walk-to-the-station commute. From here, regular Southeastern services run directly to London Victoria, with journey times of approximately 19-20 mins, making it particularly appealing for commuters working in Central or West London, it’s entirely feasible your commute into Victoria could take less than 25 mins door to door if timed well! The reliability and speed of this route significantly reduce daily travel time and remove much of the friction from the working week.

In addition, Penge West and Anerley stations are both within easy reach, providing London Overground services with straightforward connections to Canada Water, Shoreditch, Highbury & Islington, and beyond - ideal for those working across the City or East London.

Locally, Penge continues to develop a strong reputation for independent cafés, bakeries and neighbourhood restaurants, particularly along Maple Road and the High Street. Practical amenities are well covered too, with a large Sainsbury’s nearby for everyday shopping. On the High St, you will find gems such as the General Store, a quaint deli and supplies store. There’s Craft Metropolis for our local craft beer lovers and, of course, the Bridge House pub; this charming split-level gastro pub is super welcoming and hosts comedy nights, quiz nights and has a lovely beer garden. The food there is lovely, too, and best of all, it’s within staggering distance of the flat!

For green space, the flat is approx. Half a mile from the southeastern entrance of Crystal Palace Park (approx. A 14 min walk, if that), with the nearest part of the park being the boating lake and Dinosaurs. This also puts the fabulous Brown & Green café basically in your back garden, so working from home will be a joy, as will lazy weekends where you can enjoy being catered for. The coffee is fab, and the food is proper, too! The other massive benefit to being near this corner of the park, especially if you’re a foodie, is the food market, which operates every Sunday. There’s a diverse mix of street food on offer, and some deli-style artisan stands, too; luckily, most traders accept cards, so it may be time to invest in some new running shoes!
