Avenue Road, London, SE25

*** Vendors comments *** "The moment I walked into this flat in 2020, just 15 minutes into the viewing, I knew it was the one. It felt right instantly, and over time, it became so much more than just a first home.

The living room and master bedroom are both impressively spacious, flooded with natural light from large windows. It’s the kind of space that lifts your mood the moment you step inside.

One of my absolute favourite features, and a rare find in London, is the direct access to the communal garden through sliding doors in the living room. Only a few ground-floor flats in the block enjoy this privilege. Being able to step straight onto the grass with a morning coffee or unwind in the sun felt like a daily luxury.

As someone who loves to cook, the separate modern kitchen was a dream. It’s complete with a dishwasher and plenty of cupboard space to keep everything neatly tucked away.

There’s generous built-in storage in both bedrooms, with even more in the hallway. It made everyday living so much easier, especially in a London flat where space is often limited.

I used to walk to Norwood Junction every morning and be at London Bridge in just 15 minutes. The connection was incredibly convenient and made commuting feel effortless.

South Norwood Park is literally just outside. Whether it was a jog around the lake, an evening stroll, or a quiet moment to relax, having that green space on my doorstep was a huge part of what made this place feel like home.

You can cut through the park and reach the heart of Crystal Palace in no time at all. It’s perfect for grabbing a coffee, meeting friends at a pub, or exploring the local shops and restaurants. The area offers a great blend of peaceful surroundings and vibrant culture nearby.

Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to have wonderful neighbours on either side, both long-term owners. The building itself is well run and maintained, with a few landlords owning multiple flats and working together to keep everything affordable and efficient.

I poured a lot of care into making this flat a true home. While our growing family means it’s time for a new chapter, I know this place will bring the same joy and comfort to its next owner.

If you value natural light, a peaceful setting with direct garden access, and the convenience of excellent transport links and green spaces, I’d highly recommend coming to view this flat. It truly is a hidden gem."
