Wordsworth Road, London, SE20

A stylish top-floor flat in a superb location, offering contemporary living with character details and excellent transport links. Offered to the market with no onward chain and a share of freehold. 

The heart of the flat is the open-plan kitchen and living area, where an impressive exposed brick feature wall immediately catches your eye; adding warmth and texture, the brickwork adds real character and creates a natural focal point that grounds the whole space. Space-wise, the layout works fantastically, allowing for a defined lounge space and a proper dining area that complements the open-plan kitchen, enabling you to be part of the action when cooking with guests over.  

The kitchen is finished beautifully, and the L-shaped layout makes brilliant use of the available space, giving you proper counter space for cooking and plenty of storage. We particularly like the open shelf, which is a wonderfully practical touch that also allows you to style the kitchen! Our enthusiasm for the kitchen doesn’t stop at the shelf, as we have a particular fondness for gas hobs, which may not be a feature that excites you, but having one here will serve you well on the resale! 

To the rear of the flat is the bedroom, which is a chunky room, allowing plenty of space for a king or super king bed, and all the storage you might need. It has a stylish column radiator, the same high quality double glazed sash window as is found elsewhere in the flat and a nice carpet under foot, giving a cosy feel. 

The bathroom deserves a mention because it gets so much right. The large walk-in shower is spacious and modern, and there’s a large window for natural ventilation – no more steamy, airless bathrooms that never quite dry out. It's one of those practical details that makes daily life so much more pleasant.

The lease situation is pretty solid, the flat has a share of freehold with an accompanying lease that has 116 years remaining, and there are no set service charges or ground rents either. 

The location is worth a mention, Wordsworth Road sits in that sweet spot where you're close enough to walk to Penge High Street for your everyday needs – proper local shops, cafes that serve decent coffee, and the kind of independent businesses that give an area real character, but it is quiet and away the buzz of the high street. You're also within easy reach of Crystal Palace Park, which means 200 acres of green space which is a short walk away, ideal for morning runs, weekend walks, or just visiting the food market on a Sunday, which happens to be in the southeast corner of the park, at the nearest park entrance to this flat!

Transport-wise, you've got options. Penge East station gets you into Victoria & Blackfriars, and is only 0.3 mi away. Penge West is on the Windrush line offering connections across South London and into the city. The area has that brilliant balance of feeling properly residential and peaceful, while still being connected enough for commuting to actually work.
