2 bed flat for sale

Priory Crescent, London SE19

Tenure: Leasehold

A well-presented two double bedroom ground floor flat on Priory Crescent. Set back from the road, with a very leafy aspect, this bright flat offers a high-quality, modern interior that is a true turnkey opportunity.

The layout here is an asset and works well; there’s a separate kitchen, separate WC and a straightforward layout that makes good practical sense. The current owners have clearly invested in the flat over time, resulting in a modern interior that includes an updated kitchen and bathroom, both modernised in a stylish yet durable way. Both bedrooms are genuine doubles, the reception room has the width and depth for both living and dining, and the ground-floor position makes day-to-day access easy, there’s no navigating lengths of corridors or communal areas.

The reception room sits at the end of the hall and measures a respectable 14'9 by 11'1. That is a measurement worth noticing, because it allows the room to serve more than one purpose without becoming cramped: There is space here for a full sofa arrangement, a dining table and the usual everyday furniture, while still keeping comfortable routes through the room. A wide window brings in good natural light, especially in the first half of the day, given it has a southeast aspect.

The kitchen is separate and finished in a palette that is simple and sensible: Gloss white cabinetry, timber worktops, white brick-format tiling and grey plank flooring. The run of units is long and efficient, giving decent preparation space and good storage, while the large window at the far end keeps the room bright during the day. The materials have been chosen with day-to-day use in mind, and the overall result is clean, practical and easy to maintain. Whilst it is a galley-style kitchen, it has really good depth, unlike most, which are narrow; this allows you to add more storage or casual seating if desired.

Bedroom one is a comfortable double at 11'7 by 9'10, with enough wall space for wardrobes and bedside tables as well as the bed itself. Bedroom two measures 11'7 by 7'10 and is currently arranged in a way that shows its flexibility well. That dimension is worth highlighting because it keeps the room useful over time: It can work as a second double, a child’s room, a guest room or a home working space, depending on how you live. In a flat of this size, having two rooms that both remain genuinely usable is an important part of the overall picture.

The bathroom and WC are separate, and that detail becomes more relevant the more you think about daily life, especially if living with a partner or when having guests. The bathroom has been updated with large-format light tiling, a full-sized bath, a glass screen and a green tiled surround framing the mirrored cabinet above the basin.

Outside, the block sits within open communal grounds and is set back from the road, with lawns around it and a little breathing space between the entrance and the pavement. That setting gives the flat a slightly calmer outlook than the address alone might suggest, and it adds an attractive view from all the windows, given it’s the ground-floor position. The building has a settled, residential character, and the flat itself carries that same sense of order.

Location-wise, the Triangle is around 0.9 miles away and remains the obvious local anchor, whether you are after coffee, dinner, a good pub, or the practical convenience of shops and a supermarket in one place. Haynes Lane’s Saturday food market is also close enough to become part of the weekend rhythm, with a strong mix of local producers, growers and ready-to-eat food that people travel across south London for.

For green space, Crystal Palace Park is around a mile away and continues to earn its place in daily life here, whether that means weekend walks, the National Sports Centre, the boating lake, or the updated dinosaurs. Closer to home is Upper Norwood Recreation Ground, around 0.3 miles away across Beulah Hill and along Harold Road, which is useful for a run, a dog walk or a game on the free tennis courts.

Transport is straightforward. There is a bus stop just around the corner at the top of Spa Hill, including the Superloop, which runs into central London on a limited-stop route. Crystal Palace and Gipsy Hill stations are both roughly 1.1 miles away, with direct links to London Bridge and Victoria, while Crystal Palace also provides access to the Overground when East London is the destination.
