Gipsy Road, London, SE27

A beautifully presented two-bedroom flat on Gipsy Road on the first floor of a modern block, with a handsome period façade. Offered with a lease of 986 years and with a high-quality interior, it offers a turn-key opportunity with no onward chain.

Conveniently positioned between Crystal Palace & West Norwood, this home ticks a lot of boxes, but its standout feature is the impressive open-plan kitchen/living area (measuring 21'0" x 12'11") – it’s a genuine entertaining space that's flooded with natural light through its three large south-facing windows.

The contemporary white kitchen has clean lines with sleek cabinetry, integrated appliances including double ovens, and subtle under-cabinet lighting. The composite stone worktops and modern gas hob make this a practical cooking space ideal for those who enjoy cooking and entertaining. The kitchen space has smart tiling, and the living space has wood floors; there’s also space for a decent-sized dining table, but we think you could also put a kitchen island in, giving you even more worktop and storage space as well as creating a breakfast bar to dine at.

In the middle of the flat, you have a large bathroom, which is really well finished with high-quality tiles and a shower over a full-sized bath. There’s also a heated towel rail, an integrated toilet, and a large mirror. Just outside the bathroom, in the hall, there’s a large storage cupboard, which is super handy.

At the rear are both bedrooms, with the main bedroom (13'6" x 9'6") offering plenty of space; it also has large wardrobes, which free up the floor space. Depending on your needs, the second bedroom works well as either a guest room, home office, or even a dressing room.

Tenure-wise, the flat has a lengthy lease of approximately 986 years. The service charge is £1350, and the ground rent £350 per annum.

The building is securely gated and has secure bike storage, and is located in a great position between West Dulwich, West Norwood and Crystal Palace, which all offer distinct vibes. Head to West Norwood (10 min walk) for cosy neighbourhood joints like Knowles or 400 Rabbits pizzeria, or walk up to Crystal Palace, where you'll find everything from proper cocktail bars to excellent brunch spots and some of the best gastro pubs south of the river. West Dulwich has some great pubs, a phenomenal butchers in Scotch Meats and a few other delights you’ll love living next to.

For transport, you're just a short walk from Gipsy Hill Station, which gets you into London Bridge & Victoria. West Norwood station is also an easy walk with direct trains to Victoria (25 mins) and London Bridge (30 mins). Multiple bus routes connect you to Brixton for the Victoria Line or Crystal Palace for the Overground. The area has that genuine community feel that's getting harder to find in London, with independent cafés, a local cinema, and decent green spaces nearby.
