Croydon Road, Benwick Court, SE20

A very well-presented two-bedroom flat in a really well-maintained block, that has a great distribution of space and a position convenient for Anerley Station, Crystal Palace & Penge High Street. Situated on the first floor with fantastic light, this lovely home would make a great first-time purchase.

The reception room allows space for both a comfortable lounge and dining area, with a table for six easily accommodated. The décor is neutral, and the space has a large window with a southeastern aspect, making it really bright first thing in the morning to early afternoon, there is also a very pretty green view over the communal gardens.

The kitchen is off the reception, which works well for entertaining but will also appeal to those who don’t want an open-plan layout. It is arranged in a horseshoe shape, which keeps everything close to hand when cooking and also provides acres of worktop space, there is also masses of storage under the worktops and the open shelves above provide functional storage and the ability to style the kitchen whilst keeping an open feel. The view from the window is shared with the reception and again, that bright southeastern aspect makes for a fantastically bright space.

The bedrooms are both generously proportioned; notably, the second bedroom is well-proportioned and is a proper double-sized room, which is incredibly difficult to find at this price point. Both rooms are carpeted which feels cosier than the attractive wood effect floor found throughout the rest of the flat.

The bathroom is also a lovely space and nicely finished. There is a full-size bath with a rain shower overhead, giving you the best of both worlds.  Around the bath are quality metro tiles and the modern sanitaryware complements the décor of the bathroom and finishes off the space nicely.

The communal gardens are very well kept and have a southeastern aspect, making them incredibly bright from morning through to afternoon, it’s an ideal place to grab a book and enjoy the sun!

Further up the hill, you will find the celebrated Crystal Palace Triangle, where there’s a host of independent shops, restaurants, cafes, pubs and creative & artisan retailers, including furniture shops, vintage clothes shops, coffee shops and an Everyman cinema. There are frequent buses heading there from Anerley Hill (1 minute walk), making the journey easy to access all that Crystal Palace offers.

The famous Crystal Palace Park is also nearby and has 200 acres of green space, a boating lake, dinosaurs and the national sports centre, where you can partake in a variety of activities & sports from swimming to trampolining, football, netball, volleyball, and many others.

For a more local park, Winsford Gardens is literally next door. This hidden gem of a space is loved for its manicured look and utter tranquility. Dulwich, West Norwood, East Dulwich, Sydenham, and Brixton are all within very easy reach of the flat and open up many options for nights and meals out at the weekends and evenings.
