Alexandra Drive, Gipsy Hill

£399,950

Large, light and lovely one bedroom conversion flat of 525 square feet. Find it on the first floor of a handsome semi-detached Victorian house.

High ceilings, a neutral decorative scheme and sash windows all impress, and a big communal garden to the front of the building completes the pretty package. Leasehold.

Location? You are all of two minutes from Gipsy Hill Station (with regular mainline services), and you are also really near to the town centres of Gipsy Hill and Crystal Palace.

In the main front door, take the stairs to the first floor and your own front door. First on your left from the hall is the smart carpeted double bedroom - of 14 feet by over 9 feet, in a restful pink hue. It’s set to the rear of the building, with leafy vistas.

Adjacent is the property’s (windowed) bathroom, with white sanitary ware.

Take a right from the hall and you land in the huge reception room - of over 13 feet by nearly 15 feet, with stripped wooden floors. There’s plenty of space to zone seating, dining and even work areas, and it's particularly sunny thanks to its south-easterly orientation.

The independent fitted kitchen (Shaker-style wall and base units and wooden worktops feature here), with a large larder, is set off the reception room.

Gipsy Hill Station is your closest one. There are a cluster of good pubs here: The Great Southern, The Paxton and The Colby Arms. The Bull & Finch is a nice craft beer place too.

And Crystal Palace Station (and the amazing park adjacent - complete with dinosaurs and Olympic pool!) is close as well. Crystal Palace Triangle has simply loads of restaurants, bars, plus independent shopping. Some of our recommendations include Joanna’s, Numidie and Westow House. The Everyman cinema is a top tip too.
