***Vendor comments*** “When we first stepped through the door of our home on Thurlow Park Road, we had that wonderful feeling that we had found somewhere truly special. We were looking for a home that offered the warmth and comfort and has been our sanctuary, which had the blend of character with a modern decor and the convenience of London living and the reassurance of manageable running costs. This lovely two-bedroom flat has great storage too and has given us all that and so much more.

Now, as we prepare to pass it on to its next owners, we would love to share what has made this place so special to us and why we believe you might fall in love with it too.

One of the things we have always loved about our flat is its beautiful character, particularly the large bay window, which creates a wonderful outlook and is one of those features that makes a home feel special. The building itself has plenty of charm, too, with attractive features in the communal areas that add to its character and are appreciated by residents.

Just as importantly, we have been lucky enough to share the building with wonderful neighbours who are friendly, welcoming and a pleasure to live alongside. There is something reassuring about feeling part of a community and it has made our time here all the more enjoyable.

Another real advantage of living here is the independence and affordability that come with our share of freehold. The owners of the seven flats jointly own the freehold, allowing us to work collaboratively on maintenance and make decisions together, without the expense of a third-party managing agent.

Our building contribution is just £100 per month, covering communal upkeep and building insurance. This has helped us keep our running costs manageable while enjoying the benefits of a shared building. We also have the added convenience of shared parking in the front garden, a real bonus that makes everyday life that little bit easier.

For us, this flat has always been more than just somewhere to live. It is a place to unwind after a busy day, enjoy a quiet morning and feel completely at home.

The two-bedroom layout has been wonderfully versatile. We use one bedroom as our main bedroom and the second as a small double, but we can easily imagine it becoming a welcoming guest room, a nursery, or even a creative space. There is also a dedicated work-from-home area, making it easier to balance professional life with the comforts of home.

Whether you are a first-time buyer taking that exciting step onto the property ladder, a couple looking for a place to call your own, or someone seeking a flexible home in a well-connected London neighbourhood, we can easily imagine you making this flat your own.

One of our favourite things about living here is how easily we can escape into nature. We often joke that we have three of London's loveliest green spaces as our gardens and we really are spoilt for choice.

The cinema/library in Norwood for us is about a 12 minute walk and is another favourite place of ours. Cinemas also in Brixton and East Dulwich.Dulwich Park is perfect for leisurely walks, cycling, and relaxed weekends outdoors. Belair Park offers another beautiful green escape, while Brockwell Park has become a particular favourite for us as a family. From its expansive open spaces to its much-loved Lido and BMX track, there is always something to enjoy. My son especially loves the BMX track, making Brockwell Park a place we have enjoyed returning to time and time again.
