Sylvan Road, Crystal Palace

£495,000

OIRO £495,000.

A real box-ticker, this one! A delightful two bedroom flat with own front door, a Freehold-share, a sunny private garden, and your very own garage.

What a top spot: a lovely and leafy locale, and you are pleasingly just a couple of minutes from South Norwood Lake and Grounds.

Walk 13 minutes to Crystal Palace Station and Crystal Palace Park and Sports Centre. And Crystal Palace's 'Triangle' is just a five minute walk for cafe culture, cool shops, pubs and restaurants.

Take the path to the right of the building to find your own front door. You open directly into the kitchen. This is a smart Shaker number, with ceramic metro-style tiling and integrated appliances.

Next door is your twin-windowed reception room - which is generous enough for lounge furniture, and a table and chairs.

Moving through the flat, next you have the property’s windowed bathroom to the left of the hallway, with white sanitary ware and a double-glazed window.

Adjacent is bedroom one - of 8 feet by over 8 feet. Your large principal bedroom completes the tour. This is over 13 feet by over 12 feet, and has fab ceiling height plus picture rail and coving detail.

Your sunny garden is a low-maintenance paved one that is just perfect for entertaining friends, and is prettily framed by mature trees in neighbouring gardens.

Crystal Palace has so much going for it and seems to keep on giving! Long-standing independent shops include Bookseller Crow. The Everyman Cinema is a brilliant local one, and good lively pubs locally include The Alma and The White Hart. Restaurants? We particularly rate Kish Mish, Numidie, Edo and Tamnag Thai to name but a few.

There are two regular Farmers Markets (one in the park and on Haynes Lane). A big Sainsbury’s on Westow Street easily settles the supermarket stuff, and for treats, check out Blackbird Bakery, Four Boroughs, and The Vaults Collective (the latter for plants, cake and coffee!).

Anerley - Chatsworth Bakehouse and the Douglas Fir (a super cool artisan brewery bar) are popular, among other delights.

The National Sports Centre within Crystal Palace Park is listed, and home to an Olympic sized pool and strong gym and sporting facilities. The park itself is home to dinosaurs, a lake, a farm and even a maze!
