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! 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.

Council Tax pays for multiple services in the property's local authority with only part of it going to the council itself. Residences within a Parish or Town Council area have an additional charge to fund the body. Each parish/town council has a different budget and imposes different fees. Not all councils have parishes/town councils and this varies across the country.
In instances where parish/town councils do affect the council tax value and we do not have the exact figure, we present council tax data with the below highlights. Take care to confirm which is being presented by the dashboard as this will need to be made clear to your clients:
avg - When we indicate the Council Tax price is 'avg', it means we have not been able to obtain an exact figure, so this number represents the mean value of Council Tax across the council for that property band. The exact figure will be slightly higher or lower because each parish/town council is priced differently.
min - When we indicate the Council Tax is a 'min', it represents the known amount that the council sets for itself, but excludes the parish/town council cost which we have not been able to obtain. The additional cost will need to be considered as it will be greater than the indicated price.
