Apple Yard, Cortland House Apple Yard, SE20

A stylish one-bedroom ground-floor flat with a lovely balcony and a long lease. The flat has a spacious open-plan kitchen/living space and is located in a popular development convenient for multiple transport links, as well as Crystal Palace Triangle and Park.

Located on the ground floor (with no need for stairs or lift), this beautifully bright flat offers modern living and is very much a turnkey home. It has a large open-plan kitchen and living space, which is great for entertaining. The kitchen is well-finished and has a vast amount of worktop space, plentiful storage, and all the integrated appliances you would expect in a home of this standard. There is more than enough space for both a defined dining area and a defined lounge space, with flexibility on how you set up this space.  

The bedroom is a good-sized, proper double bedroom, which is rare in newer builds and the  bathroom is beautifully finished, with a shower over a full-size bath. The walls surrounding the bath are covered in metro tiles, giving it a fresh and quality feel.

The balcony is generous in size and offers a space to dine or relax and given its southwest-facing aspect, you can even grow stuff on it!

The flat has…

• A lease believed to be 242 years.

• The service charge last year was just under £2000, although this is expected to drop as the managing agents were collecting funds for a renewal of the heating system, which is now complete.

• A ground rent of £372 PA

• A secure gated off street parking space

• A secure bike store

Location-wise, the flat is 0.4 mi from Anerley Station with access to the overland, on the Windrush line you can access the city so easily and during peak hours there are direct trains to London Bridge. The flat is also 0.6 mi from Crystal Palace Park, with the nearest entrance being on Thicket Road, where the boating lake and Dinosaurs are. Penge West station is 0.7 mi away, also giving access to the overland line, making access to The City and Shoreditch a breeze. Penge East is 1.1 mi away, which is a short train journey to Victoria. Crystal Palace Station is 0.7 mi away and gives direct access to London Bridge as well as Victoria (via Forest Hill), having multiple station options within easy reach is a real asset of this location.

Being near the park is a huge benefit, especially if you're a foodie, as you'll love the food market, which operates every Sunday. There's a diverse mix of street food on offer, as well as deli-style artisan stands. And, if you feel you've overindulged, there's a 5k park run every Saturday morning at 9 am!

The best part of Anerley Road is only 0.4 mi away, where you will find Café Chic, Bob Wines, and a few other incredible places you'll love living next door to, such as the beloved Chatsworth Bakehouse, where locals queue for Tom & Sian's insanely good sandwiches, focaccia, brownies & pizzas.

Slightly further up the hill, On the Triangle, you are spoilt for choice with restaurants, pubs, brilliant eateries, and even an Everyman Cinema. There are galleries, a yoga school, and a variety of coffee shops, from the indie artisanal variety to the bigger chains (café Nero, not the other one!), it's worth mentioning that most shops in the Triangle are indies, and this is something we are all rightly proud of.

Crystal Palace has another food market in addition to the one in the park, which is on Haynes Lane, just off the Triangle and operates every Saturday, it offers the best from small sustainable farmers and local food producers; think of it as a local Borough Market but with a distinct Palace vibe!
