House For Sale £650,000
This doer-upper semi-detached period house - with lots of retained-features - is calling everyone’s name! Find it in a park-facing position opposite Upper Norwood Rec. - just strides from Ofsted-rated ‘Outstanding’ Rockmount Primary School.
The extension-potential-in-spades (push up into the loft and out into the garden; as many of the neighbours have done) property has a deep rear garden plus generous front garden, side access, and an outbuilding. Parking is unrestricted on the street.
In the front door (we’re loving the stained glass detail in the original front door) and you land in a generous hall. The stairs lead up ahead. To your left you have the reception room of over 14 feet by over 11.
Adjacent is the second reception - a natural dining room - of over 12 feet by 12 feet, with timber-framed glazed French doors onto the generous garden. Both reception rooms have their original picture rails.
At the foot of the hall (adjacent to the dining room) you’ve got an independent kitchen which also has a back door into the garden.
The garden’s got paved and lawned areas and - like the house - is yearning for some tlc and will yield great rewards. This is a beautifully-leafy patch of se London. You have connectivity to central London and a leafy suburban feel in equal measure! Upper Norwood Recreation Ground is opposite you - it’s lovely looking out to parkland.
Moving up the stairs, you’ve a pretty window (again with stained-glass) over your ascent. From the landing, to the front of the house you have a generous single room of over 7 feet by nearly 7, and the large curved-bayed master bedroom of 15 feet by over 10.
Set to the rear of the floor you have a second double bedroom (this one’s 12 feet by over 10), and a neat windowed bathroom with its original white suite and ceramic tiling.
A large loft (accessed from the landing) is ripe for conversion.
Getting around? The 450 bus route goes along Chevening Road itself. The other buses that go along Central Hill (417,432, N2 and N137) are mere minutes from your door, and the 249 goes along Church Road.
Walk 15 minutes to Gipsy Hill Station or 17 to Crystal Palace Station. Crystal Palace Triangle is a short walk.
Crystal Palace has so much going for it and seems to just keep giving! A recent lauded addition is the new Everyman Cinema.
Lovely and lively local pubs include The Alma, Sparrowhawk and The White Hart (book ahead for your Sunday roasts!). Restaurants? We particularly rate Numidie, Crystal Palace Market, Joanna’s, Edo and Tamnag Thai to name but a few.
A big Sainsbury’s on Westow Street easily settles the weekly shop, and for treats, check out Dalhousie and Blackbird Bakery among other cafe and deli life.
The National Sports Centre within beautiful, Victorian Crystal Palace Park is listed and home to an Olympic sized pool and brilliant gym and sporting facilities. The park itself is home to dinosaurs, a lake, and even a maze!
Closer still is 33-acre Norwood Park (walk under 15 minutes) - a lovely hilly one with wooded and play areas and a cute cafe.
