Church Road, London

** GUIDE PRICE £325,000 - £350,000 **

Occupying the top floor of a magnificent detached Victorian villa on Church Road, this beautifully presented one-bedroom apartment is a rare find in one of South London's most characterful addresses. Offered chain free, it combines the elegance of period architecture with the reassurance of a recently refurbished building.

The apartment itself is bright, well-proportioned and full of charm. A generous reception room - over 14 feet in width -enjoys tall ceilings and an abundance of natural light through the newly installed timber double-glazed sash windows, which were fitted as part of a substantial major works programme across the building. Warm parquet flooring flows throughout, lending a sense of cohesion and comfort.

The separate kitchen is a practical and well-equipped space, while the bedroom is a calm and peaceful retreat, measuring over 13 feet and benefiting from built-in storage concealed behind full-length curtaining. The bathroom completes the accommodation.

Beyond the flat itself, the building is a delight - a stately red-brick villa steeped in Victorian character, approached via off-street parking - this flat benefits from an allocated space - and enjoying access to a communal garden graced with a mature magnolia tree. The long lease of 154 years offers genuine peace of mind.

The property is a short walk from the Crystal Palace 'Triangle' - a vibrant hub of independent shops, cafés, delis, bars and boasts an Everyman Cinema - with a Sainsbury's also close by for weekly shops and everyday essentials. Crystal Palace (0.8mi), Gipsy Hill (0.8mi) and Norwood Junction (1mi) stations are within easy reach, providing fast links into central London, while Crystal Palace Park and South Norwood Lake offer excellent nearby green space.
