College Green, London, SE19

Offered chain-free is this spacious and incredibly bright three-bedroom family home on the pedestrianised section of a popular residential location, positioned behind “The Triangle”. Offering generous space both inside and out, with three double bedrooms and two receptions which have a beautifully bright south-facing aspect overlooking the large garden.

College Green is a quiet cul-de-sac near the heart of Crystal Palace, located only 0.3 mi from The Triangle; it’s adjacent to Westow Park and moments from the expansive Upper Norwood Rec, so there’s plenty of greenery nearby, and you are still within easy reach of the best that Crystal Palace has to offer.

The house has been recently refurbished, including a new kitchen, bathroom, and flooring throughout. The space is generous and well laid out; there’s an open-plan kitchen/diner and a separate reception room, both of which have a south-facing aspect, which overlook and give access to the garden. However, many neighbouring houses have opened up the dining and living spaces to create a larger open-plan configuration.

On the first floor are three bedrooms, all of which could be described as double rooms. All bedrooms have large windows which span the width of the rooms. The family bathroom is sizeable and also has a huge window in it; there’s a full-size shower bath with the option of putting a shower above. The bathroom could also be made larger by knocking through into the separate toilet, which is again a modification a lot of neighbouring houses have made.

There is also scope to extend into the loft space; notably, number 3, which had a loft conversion but with no dormer extension, was sold by us for £660,000 in the spring of 2023. The landing on the first floor lends itself really well to a loft conversion, allowing for the stairs to the newly created floor feel quite natural and not at all steep or compromised.

The garden is surprisingly private and has a very fortunate south-facing aspect. It is super easy to maintain, as it has a lawn and patio. There are parking bays available on the other side of the green just outside the front of the house.

Location-wise, the expansive spaces of Westow Park & Upper Norwood Rec are literally on your doorstep for anyone needing larger green spaces. Upper Norwood Rec’ has 19 acres and free tennis courts, and lots of dog walking space! Westow Park has some beautiful trees, a children’s playground and, depending on the season, an artisan coffee van.

The hugely celebrated Triangle is 0.3 mi mile away and is home to an array of beautiful cafes, restaurants, gastro pubs, an everyman cinema, yoga schools, a reasonably sized Sainsburys and many a lovely coffee shop. There’s also the much celebrated and utterly addictive Haynes Lane Farmers Market open every Saturday which the house is only a stone’s throw from!

Transport-wise, Gipsy Hill Station is 0.8 mi away, and Crystal Palace Station is also 0.8 mi away, offering links to London Bridge & Victoria.

If the two neighbouring parks weren’t enough, Crystal Palace Park is 0.8mi away and is home to the national sports centre, our infamous dinosaurs and 200 acres of grade two listed grounds, there’s many music events held there over the year and theatrical performances too.
