1 bed Flat For Sale £410,000
This wonderfully refurbished one-bedroom apartment is positioned on the ground floor of a semi-detached Victorian house on the tree-lined street of Charleville Circus in Crystal Palace. The apartment has been extensively refurbished by the designers Studio Schubert, marrying contemporary design with Victorian features and proportions. Large sash windows accentuate soaring ceilings and frame views over lush communal gardens. Focal areas of the apartment are accented with shadowy greens and moody blues, while the rest of the apartment is predominately finished in a monochromatic palette. The apartment is a short walk from two public green spaces, Crystal Palace Park and Sydenham Wells Park.
The Designer
Studio Schubert is an award-winning interior design practice based in south-east London. Their work focuses on minimal contemporary design and joinery. The practice has completed numerous bespoke residential and hospitality projects at various scales.
The Tour
The front door is set behind a low wrought-iron gate, within a striking Victorian façade with a decorative brick gable and a protruding bay window. Entry is to a hallway, painted a pale grey with engineered oak floorboards throughout.
The reception room is at the end of the hallway, where a large sash window frames green views over the communal garden, echoed in the luscious tone of the walls, open shelves and bespoke cabinetry. A white mantlepiece inset with veined dark marble panels forms a natural focal point to the room. A dining area is currently arranged along one wall.
The galley kitchen is located next to the reception room. A sash window centres the space and frames leafy views of the communal garden, while Valchromat cabinetry is topped with white Corian and runs on either side of the room. A Bosch hob and an oven are housed on one side, a breakfast bar is configured on the other side. A fridge, washing machine, dryer and additional storage space are hidden behind black Valchromat doors in the hallway.
The bedroom, at the front of the plan, is a peaceful space. Oak shelves and a desk in the same material have been built into a nook, and a pair of wall sconces accent the deep blue wall. A walk-in closet is concealed behind an industrial sliding door.
The bathroom has a walk-in shower with black fittings and has ample hidden storage. Black marble herringbone tiles line the shower and the floor and there is underfloor heating. The WC is separate, and in stark contrast, is clad in white herringbone marble tiles, fitted with a Toto Washlet and has underfloor heating.
The Area
Sydenham High Street is a short walk and has a good selection of pubs and independent coffee shops. There is also the Good Food deli for excellent produce, a yoga studio and an excellent brewery. The expansive green space of Crystal Palace Park is a short walk from the apartment and was named by The Sunday Times as the best place to live in London (2022). It is a vibrant area with award-winning restaurants and bars as well as having a thriving art and music scene. There is a farmers market every Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, as well as art and film festivals throughout the year. Local favourite establishments include Kirkdale Bookshop, Blackbird bakery, Joanna’s restaurant, Walters Bar & Kitchen, Woodhouse pub and the Everyman Cinema.
Sydenham train station runs regular services to London Bridge in approximately 20 minutes whilst from Sydenham Hill station mainline rail runs services to London Victoria (15 minutes), Blackfriars (20 minutes) and City Thameslink/Farringdon (22 minutes) via Herne Hill.
