Lansdowne Place, London, SE19

A three-bedroom lateral apartment situated in the very heart of Crystal Palace Triangle. Offering spacious, stylish living space spread over an impressive 1344ft2. Offered to the market with no onward chain, it also has a large balcony, secure off-street parking and a long lease.

This flat offers more space than many local houses, at over 1300ft2, it’s mightily impressive and at its heart is an expansive open-plan living area (24'6" x 16'4"). A room this size gives you incredible flexibility on how you can set up the space, there’s room for a very large dining or refectory table where you can comfortably accommodate 10-12 guests with ease, and there’s also scope to install a large kitchen island to create even more prep space and give a casual seating area to complement a more formal dining arrangement.

Then, of course, there is space to live out your sofa dreams! You can go for the largest one you can find or have a clutch of sofas arranged to separate the living space from the kitchen/dining space. The possibilities are huge, and with the large balcony accessed via large double French doors, the flow from the inside to outside is great, ideal when entertaining when you have good weather. The kitchen was newly installed last year, and it is a bit special - sleek grey handleless cabinets paired with dramatic black granite worktops conceal your integrated Bosch appliances and its all kept looking clean and fresh with those classic metro tiles we all love forming the splashbacks.

Step outside onto the southeast-facing balcony and you'll find a clever touch - artificial grass underfoot that stays green year-round without any of the faff! It's a lovely spot for morning coffee as the sun rises, and there's a nice view over the secure parking area where you can see your dedicated parking space.

The main bedroom (9.17m x 4.04m / 30'1" x 13'3") is a proper sanctuary with stylish darker flooring and space for the largest bed you can dream of. There's a dedicated dressing area that leads to an en-suite shower room with a lovely rainfall shower - perfect for washing away the day before sinking into bed.

Two more good-sized bedrooms complete the picture, both are carpeted and are a distance from the main bedroom, which is a nice touch if sharing or having frequent guests. One can be set up as a home gym/office if needed. The main bathroom is rather lovely, too, with eye-catching patterned floor tiles and a full-sized bath for those essential soak-away-the-stress sessions.

On the practical side (boring but important!), you get secure gated parking, video entry system, loads of storage, and a recent combi boiler that keeps everything toasty warm without costing a fortune to run, this is also helped by the high quality double glazed windows found in every room.

Now, about this fantastic location... The Triangle is an absolute gem with so many indie cafés, shops and restaurants you'll be spoilt for choice!

Lansdowne Place is right in the thick of Palace life. Pop across to the characterful Alma pub (do try the fried cauliflower - seriously, it's amazing!) or nip to the White Hart for more traditional pub vibes. Chocoholics beware - Blowing Dandelions is dangerously close, and Brown & Green's legendary breakfast scrambles are just a 10 second walk away. Your weekend brunch game will never be the same!

Coffee snobs will love Four Boroughs with their brilliant cinnamon Danishes. Film buffs are sorted with the gorgeous Art-Deco Everyman cinema just moments away on Church Road, alongside Elle-featured Plaster for your nail treatments, a top-notch hot yoga studio, and Urban Cellar where Alison will sort you out with the perfect bottle of wine.

Church Road is probably the best of the Triangle's three main streets, but Westow Street and Hill hold their own with more lovely independent places to eat and drink. The big Sainsbury's is super handy for the weekly shop, and don't miss the Saturday market down Haynes Lane for amazing artisan food (bring cash - you'll want to buy everything!).

Getting to work is easy with Gipsy Hill and Crystal Palace Stations nearby, whisking you to London Bridge, Victoria, the City and East London. After work and weekends, Crystal Palace Park is just down the road with its 200 acres of green space and that brilliant sports centre with everything from Olympic swimming to trampolining!
