We bought this property in 2018 as first-time buyers and it has been a fantastic first home for us. We have loved exploring the area and the ease of the brilliant transport links!
We were instantly attracted to the split level element which has created the feeling of living in a house. The main living area is perfect to dine in too. The kitchen is also a great size if you love cooking like us and has plenty of cupboard space. We have renovated both bathrooms, the kitchen (including a new boiler) and changed the doors which has given a lot of character and warmth to a bright and spacious home. It's been such a joy living here.
The master bedroom fits a king size bed, a large chest of drawers and an extra large wardrobe. There is also a fitted cupboard in the room. When we first moved in we used the second bedroom as a guest room and we now use it as a spacious office. The flat has always felt large to us, benefiting from the two floors, lots of storage space and a large upstairs bathroom.
The flat is within a gated complex with an intercom system, so we have always felt safe here. The block has 12 other flats, but you rarely hear the other people in the building, and the sound proofing between flats is excellent. We love the areas so much, it offers greenery if you like going for walks like us and there are also great shops and restaurants close by too.
Since we have lived here, we definitely see Gipsy Hill as a hidden gem and we have found it to be a great location to live. Placed equidistant between Dulwich Park, Brockwell Park and Crystal Palace Park you are never too far from these lovely London parks where you can walk, run and meet friends. The flat is also five minutes from Norwood Park which is perfect for a lunchtime stroll. Crystal Palace is only a short walk up the hill with plenty of restaurants, bars and shops. We love the village feel of Crystal Palace and you are really spoilt for choice on great places to go. We are also lucky to only be a five-minute walk away from Gipsy Hill Brewery where plenty of beer and pizza can be consumed! There are also two great coffee shops - Paper Stories and Café Luna right by the flat on Gipsy Road.
An important thing for us was to be well-connected to central London. You can take the 3 from just across the road, which gets to Brixton for the tube in 25 minutes. Gipsy Hill Station is a short 7-minute walk away where you can get a direct train to London Bridge and Victoria in 30 minutes. Sydenham Hill, a 15-minute walk away, also offers a 15-minute service to Victoria. If you take the overground, you can catch this from Crystal Palace Station.

But our mission is to change the profession by example…and hopefully end up being a bit less lonely at dinner parties and the school gates. “Fairness” and “honesty” don’t often appear in the same sentence as “estate agent”, but we’re staking everything on it – which also involves being honest about what you actually need from an estate agent these days. The Fishneedwater team share the same belief that if you treat clients fairly and do things properly, they won’t mind the lack of branded minis or beers in the office fridge.
