Eversley Road, London, SE19

GUIDE PRICE £1.3M TO £1.4M This rarely available four-bedroom semi-detached family home is situated on a prestigious road in Crystal Palace. It boasts a prime location overlooking the beautiful Norwood Recreation Park and provides easy access to the trendy Crystal Palace Triangle. Having undergone extensive renovations, this wonderful house features notable highlights such as external corksol insulation, solar panels with a 13.5kWh battery , and an EV charging point at the front. The ground floor comprises two spacious reception rooms with a bay window at the front, a 19ft dining room, a 21ft fitted kitchen-diner equipped with modern appliances, a fourth bedroom/study, and a contemporary downstairs shower room. The upstairs includes three generous double bedrooms and a modern four-piece family bathroom. Additional benefits include a 120ft south facing rear garden, an outbuilding at the rear, and ample off-street parking. Sellers Comments I’m constantly struck by the peaceful surroundings and lush greenery that envelop this home, both front and back, with birdsong that friends can even hear over the phone. For London, it offers a rare sense of seclusion. At the back, there's a vast 40-meter south-facing garden framed by majestic, ancient trees. In the front, a large gated garden and driveway provide both beauty and convenience. The house backs onto Upper Norwood Recreation Ground, with its tennis courts and a friendly dog-owner community, offering tranquil views of treetops from the upstairs. One of the wonderful benefits of living on Eversley Road is the proximity to the vibrant Crystal Palace "Triangle," with its charming independent shops, restaurants, markets, and other amenities. It’s also just across the way from Rockmount Primary School, making it an ideal location for young families. The house itself has been a teacher in many ways—especially in the joys of sustainable living. The garden is abundant with edible perennials, including apples, figs, rhubarb, grapes, blackcurrants, and even the most delicious asparagus. I’ve enjoyed growing everything from mange-tout peas to tomatoes and herbs, and it’s been a delight to harvest home-grown produce that’s both nutritious and full of flavor. The garden is thoughtfully designed to make this easy, and visiting children always love exploring the vegetable patches, picking and eating fresh produce straight from the plants. Another unique feature of this home is its sustainability tech. I’ve installed 13 solar panels, a large battery (13.5 kWh), an electric car charger, and breathable, flexible cork-based exterior insulation that gives the house a sleek, modern look. Together, these innovations significantly reduce the house's carbon footprint, making both the home and car highly energy-efficient. In the summer, I even sell electricity back to the grid, building up credit for winter, while the battery powers the house during the day on cheaper night-time electricity. A new combination boiler, paired with the exterior insulation, ensures the home is easy and efficient to heat. Living here, with a focus on sustainability, has been an absolute joy and a revelation. I truly feel I have the best of all worlds—a spacious plot, plenty of green spaces nearby, and just a short walk to the lively Crystal Palace Triangle. These features have made this house so special to me, and I believe they will offer the same charm and appeal to its future owners.
