Crystal Palace has much to recommend about the town – its vintage boutiques, designer coffee shops, quaint antiques dealers, popular restaurants and regular Continental food markets and farmers markets have led to it being crowned with the coveted Sunday Times award of London's best Place to Live in 2022.

Then, on top of the Triangle, you've Crystal Palace Park - a 80 hectare Grade II* listed park that comes with a National Sports Centre and Olympic Swimming Pools.

Crystal Palace BR also runs the 'Ginger' Overground service to Highbury & Islington via Hoxton and Shoreditch.

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.
