Beverley Road, London, SE20

This beautifully presented three-bedroom end-of-terrace home is on a no-through road, close to Crystal Palace, Penge, and South Norwood. It is offered in fantastic condition and has an eat-in kitchen, separate reception, and a southeast-facing garden.

The house offers good space, which is well distributed across both floors; it has also been maintained and upgraded meticulously and offers a turn-key opportunity for someone to move straight in.

On the ground floor, at the front of the house, there is an eat-in kitchen, which is beautifully finished and is super practical. It has a “Range” cooker, with no less than 6 gas burners! The colour scheme is classically elegant, but it maintains a very contemporary feel. There are quite literally acres of worktop space and masses of storage, and there’s also space for a dining table, ideal for a family of three or four.

The reception room is at the rear of the ground floor; its southeast-facing aspect and large window & French doors make the space tremendously bright from morning through to mid-afternoon. The room spans the width of the house and has nice wood floors, a contemporary “Victorian” style nickel radiator and, as is found throughout the house, a quality door; it’s a small detail, we know, but it is worth mentioning!

The ground floor landing has a tiled floor, which is ideal if you have pets and will be appreciated in the winter months for its ease of cleaning! Under the stairs is a lot of very useful and well-organised storage, with a combination of drawers, shelves and cupboards, which makes great use of the space.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, a built-in storage cupboard and a modern bathroom. The two rear bedrooms overlook the garden and have that bright aspect shared with the reception room, which gets the morning sun first thing and continues to see the sun until mid-afternoon. The larger of these rooms has a large integrated wardrobe with sliding doors, one of which is a useful mirror. The double bedroom at the front is nicely finished and, like the other bedrooms, has fresh carpets down, there is also a classy vertical radiator.

The bathroom has a rain shower over a full-sized bath; the walls are tiled, which gives a real quality feel to the space, and the sanitaryware complements the room nicely. Another feature worth mentioning are the plantation shutters that ensure you can maintain privacy while allowing light in.

Moving outside, the garden is southeast-facing and is really easy to maintain; there’s a decked area directly off the house and an astroturf lawn. At the side of the house is a useful side access which is very handy for bikes, or mucky dogs and kids!

Location-wise, the house is near multiple train links, ideal if there’s ever a cancellation or strike, as you have so many options. The nearest is Anerley Station, which is 0.5 mi from (a 12 min walk according to Google Maps), with frequent trains to London Bridge and West Croydon, as well as Dalston on the overland, which also takes you into Shoreditch.

Norwood Junction is also a very popular station (0.8 mi away or 18 mins walk away according to Google Maps) that provides a fast and convenient link to London Bridge, the direct train is only one stop and takes only 13 minutes, there is also a London Bridge via Crystal Palace route which stops at Gipsy Hill, West Norwood, Herne Hill, East Dulwich & Peckham, which is nice for weekends and evenings out. 

Birkbeck Station is 0.6 mi away (a 13-minute walk, according to Google Maps). A tram runs every 10 minutes, taking you into Beckenham Junction or East Croydon in the opposite direction. Beckenham Junction Station offers a direct link to both London Bridge and Victoria.

Elmers End Station is just over a mile away and offers another Tram link and a direct connection to Charing Cross.

Elmers End also has a large Tesco Supermarket, and just before Elmers End is South Norwood Country Park, which offers 125 acres of parkland, wetlands and meadow, great for dog walking and exercising. Betts Park is just behind the house, and Crystal Palace Park’s impressive 200 acres is just under a mile away.

Also, just up the road on Anerley Hill, there’s Café Chic (a stunning Persian Café), whose falafel & halloumi wraps are our favourites, their coffee’s pretty damn good too, and their garden is the spot for an al-fresco brunch or lunch. Next door to Chic, there’s a Bob Wines and a few other incredible places you’ll love living near to, such as the beloved Chatsworth Bakehouse, where locals queue for Sian & Tom’s insanely good sandwiches, focaccia, brownies & pizzas, and then there’s a more recent and very welcome addition to the neighbourhood in the Crystal Palace Wine Club, an intimate but quality wine bar.

The Triangle is a little further up the hill, where you can find the best gastropubs, coffee shops, vintage furniture & clothes shops, art galleries, an everyman cinema and of course the much loved Haynes Lane food market, you wouldn’t ever need to leave the Triangle, it has everything and thankfully it’s largely independent!
