Worbeck Road, London, SE20

A bright & spacious top floor one bedroom flat on a quiet residential road in very close proximity to Crystal Palace, Penge & Beckenham.

Offering generous square footage and great distribution of space, and with no one above or beside the flat on three sides, this flat is not only bright and spacious; it’s also incredibly quiet and peaceful.

The layout of the living space is a real highlight of the flat; its open-plan layout is great when entertaining. There’s space for a good-sized dining table so you can really entertain and a sofa or two, or one chunky L-shaped sofa! The living space gets great light in the morning due to its eastern aspect, and its two large windows and full-height French doors make the space incredibly bright.

The kitchen is well-arranged and provides a huge amount of storage and worktop space; it is very contemporary and sleek in design and has all the integrated appliances you would expect. The breakfast bar is a nice addition, which makes for a great place to have casual meals or have a guest perch while you cook!

The bedroom is well-proportioned and has space for plenty of freestanding storage, there’s scope to add bespoke integrated wardrobes if wanted and there’s also a large and very useful low-level storage which links through to the entrance hall, which is a bit like an easily accessed loft!

The bathroom is beautifully finished, there’s a shower over a shower bath, full tiled walls and matching floor tiles. The sliding door allows better use of the space, and the skylight keeps the space feeling bright and airy, as well as giving you ventilation whilst maintaining privacy!  

Tenure-wise, the flat has a long lease in the region of 117 Years. The ground rent is £250 PA and there is no set service charge.

Location-wise, the flat is 0.3 mi from Birkbeck Station, with two trains per hour to Beckenham Junction and London Bridge via Crystal Palace. There’s also a tram every ten minutes, which takes you into Beckenham Junction or East Croydon in the opposite direction. Beckenham Junction Station opens up a direct link to both London Bridge & Victoria. Elmers End Station is just under a mile away and offers another Tram link and also a direct connection to Charing Cross.

Anerley Station is half a mile away, which gives access to the overland, which is a super useful route, giving access to Surrey Quays, Shoreditch High St, Highbury & Islington and everything in between.

For those wishing to put down roots locally, the local schools are very sought after, with the most popular ones being Stewart Fleming (rated outstanding) which is a few roads away, Churchfields, and the perennially popular Balgowan primary school are also very nearby.

The local parade on Elmers End Rd has a Co-op, a gym, a few cafes and other useful amenities, including the newly opened Italian restaurant “Bella Vista”. There’s an Aldi close by, and Penge High Street is not far for a wider selection of shops, including a larger Sainsbury. Beckenham High St would likely be your go-to for a night out, owing to how accessible it is via Birkbeck station, and offers a vast variety of restaurants providing a truly global selection of cuisines to choose from, as well as many cafes and coffee shops.

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.
