Elder Road, London, SE27

Offered chain-free is this beautifully presented three-bedroom home in a convenient residential location, with an attractive open plan layout on the ground floor, with bi-folding doors leading onto a low maintenance garden.

Situated opposite the beautiful Norwood Park, famous for its incredible city views, this home is within very easy reach of both Crystal Palace Triangle and West Norwood High Street.

The downstairs space is brilliantly arranged. The kitchen is in the middle of the ground floor, and there are two adjacent spaces, providing flexibility in how the living and dining spaces are arranged. From the kitchen rearwards, the house is open-plan, which provides a wonderfully social space, great for dinner parties and family gatherings.

The kitchen is sizeable and provides acres of worktop space, ideal for prepping multi-course meals or meals for larger groups. It also has the all-important gas hob, integrated dual ovens, a dishwasher, and space for a large free-standing fridge.

At the front of the house is a charming room that could be used in multiple ways; it serves as the third bedroom but could also be used as a separate reception space, providing a quiet retreat from the buzz of the kitchen and dining area. It features a rare vertical shutter, offers a view over the park, and receives good morning light due to its eastern aspect.

On the first floor, there are two large double bedrooms. The front room has large shutters over sash windows, huge amounts of integrated wardrobe space, and a bright east-facing view of the park. The bathroom at the rear of the house is another chunky room. Most likely originally a bedroom, it is now a very decadent-sized bathroom! It has a walk-in shower, a freestanding roll-top bath, tiled floors, and a large window.

The garden is super low-maintenance and requires little effort to maintain. It’s a great entertaining space, and when the bi-folding doors are open, there’s a lovely flowing space between the inside and outside, making summer parties and BBQs far more enjoyable. Speaking of BBQs, there is a brick-built BBQ here, which will be included in the sale.

Location-wise, the house is just over half a mile from West Norwood Station and the many cafes and celebrated gastro pubs in West Norwood, as well as the indie shops the area is so popular for and also its useful larger chain shops, supermarkets and the Picturehouse Cinema. Gipsy Hill Station is only 0.8 mi away (18 mins walking according to Google Maps), which provides another excellent transport link, with trains going to London Bridge & Victoria. Norwood Park is opposite, which has a skatepark, a café, a playground and a Montessori nursery. Crystal Palace Triangle is just under a mile away, offering an array of coffee shops, restaurants, bars, gastro pubs and a celebrated farmers market on Saturdays.
