A carefully renovated three-bedroom mid-terrace house on Bloomhall Road with a south-west facing garden and a substantial detached studio at the rear. The current owners have invested significant time and effort into improving the house, resulting in a turnkey home. It also benefits from a downstairs WC, an eat-in kitchen and is positioned on a residential road in close proximity to both Crystal Palace Triangle and the open green space of Norwood Park. Accommodation extends to just over 1,000 sq ft, including the studio, with the main house offering a generous front reception room, a well-planned kitchen/dining room with pantry, three bedrooms upstairs and a bright family bathroom. The front door opens into a welcoming hallway that leads through to the main reception room at the front of the house. This is a calm and comfortable space centred around a characterful fireplace with decorative tiled inserts and a traditional surround. The proportions are generous, the light is good through the large window (and its eastern aspect gives the front of the house great light in the first half of the day), and the muted green tones used on the walls create a relaxed space. Given the eastern aspect, there’s a view of London towards Canary Wharf at the front, too. To the rear of the house is the kitchen/dining room, which has clearly been designed with day-to-day life in mind. The cabinetry is finished in a soft sage tone, paired with marble-effect worktops and a classic white tiled splashback. Integrated appliances are neatly arranged, and there is ample storage and preparation space without the room feeling crowded. The dining table sits naturally alongside the kitchen run, creating a sociable environment for meals, conversation and the everyday rhythm of the house. A practical pantry space sits just off the kitchen, and a rear door leads directly out to the garden. Worth noting, there is also a downstairs WC, which most of the neighbouring houses do not have. Upstairs are three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom sits at the rear of the house and enjoys open views across the surrounding rooftops and greenery beyond. Bedroom two is another well-sized double positioned at the front of the house, while the third bedroom works perfectly as a nursery, guest room or study. The bathroom has a large shower bath, there’s an overhead rain shower, and the room is finished with deep blue wall tiles contrasting well with the white sanitaryware and a pedestal basin. Natural light from the window keeps the room bright throughout the day and provides excellent ventilation. The outside space has been really well designed and landscaped into a series of usable terraces that make the most of the south-west facing aspect. As the afternoon moves into evening, the sun sits across this side of the garden, and during the summer months, the space becomes somewhere you naturally gravitate towards after work, with light stretching well into the evening from the west. There is a generous paved terrace directly outside the kitchen for dining and entertaining, with steps leading up to a raised deck area and planting beds that soften the edges of the space. At the top of the garden sits a large detached studio, currently used as a combined office, gym and relaxation space. It’s fully wired for electricity, and with its vaulted timber ceiling and generous proportions, as well as it’s insulation to walls, ceiling and flooring, it provides a genuinely flexible room separate from the house — ideal for working from home, creative projects, fitness, or simply somewhere quiet to retreat to, and can be used all year round. Location-wise, Bloomhall Road sits in a particularly convenient pocket of SE19, positioned between the amenities of the Crystal Palace Triangle and the transport links of Gipsy Hill station. Gipsy Hill station is around 0.4mi away, (or a ten min walk according to Google Maps), with direct services to London Bridge, Victoria and Clapham Junction. Regular commuters will quickly become familiar with Fanny, the resident station cat who has become something of a local celebrity! Families will appreciate the proximity to well-regarded schools. Rockmount Primary School, rated Outstanding, is 0.6 mi away, or a 13 min walk, as the crow flies its 500metres. There are also a number of other strong primary and secondary options within easy reach. Green space is abundant here. Norwood Park is at the end of the road (less than 300ft away!) offering open space, a Montessori nursery, a skate park and sweeping views across central London from the higher ground. Crystal Palace Park is also within easy walking distance, providing lakes, sports facilities and the well-known Saturday Parkrun route that locals know is not short on hills. For food, coffee and independent shopping, the Crystal Palace Triangle is just over half a mile away. It remains one of South London’s most characterful high streets, where you can start the morning with brunch at Bloom Café, catch a film at the Everyman Cinema, or take a class at The Yoga Edge. On Saturdays, Haynes Lane Market brings together local producers and independent traders, while Sundays often mean a walk through Crystal Palace Park followed by coffee and breakfast at Brown & Green, which sits just by the park gates. All of which means that while Bloomhall Road feels residential and settled, the best of Crystal Palace life sits comfortably within walking distance.
