A split-level two-bedroom apartment on the top two floors of a semi-detached Victorian property. Situated on SE20's premier road, the flat is neutrally decorated and in exemplary condition. With a host of original features, it has both charm and character, not to mention space, light and views to die for, and is priced competitively to appeal to the first-time buyer and canny investor alike. Thicket Road is ranked on either side by imposing period terraces and well served by transport links. Crystal Palace (Zone 3) and Penge West (Zone 4) stations are equidistant, being both a mere eight minutes' walk, giving access within 25 minutes to London Bridge and Victoria. From early 2010, Crystal Palace will be served by the new East London Line extension, part of the Tube network known as London Overground. Crystal Palace bus terminus is a short walk away.
Crystal Palace Park, with its famous life-size Grade-I-listed Victorian dinosaurs, maze, lakes and concert bowl, has two entrances in Thicket Road, allowing access to acres of beautiful parkland. The Crystal Palace National Sports Centre, with its Olympic-sized swimming pool and gym, is situated within its confines. Restaurants offering cuisine ranging from Italian through Portuguese to Japanese (one of which recently won Time Out's Local Restaurant of the Year) abound locally, and there are a number of excellent bars and pubs. The area is fast gaining a reputation as a mecca for all things vintage, and there are a number of chic boutiques selling clothes and homewares, an excellent bookshop, an antiques warehouse and an indoor collectibles market.
