Parkside Close, London, SE20

A hidden gem in Penge, charming semi-detached home with garden, garage & parking.
Tucked away within the desirable Parkside Close, this attractive two-bedroom house offers something increasingly difficult to find in south-east London: the feel of a genuine family home, complete with a private garden, driveway and rear garage, while being just moments from some of the best that Penge and neighbouring Crystal Palace have to offer.
The house itself is wonderfully practical, with two comfortable bedrooms, generous living accommodation and plenty of scope for a new owner to put their own stamp on the property. The sunny rear garden provides a lovely private outdoor space, with the additional benefit of a garage and driveway – a particularly valuable combination in London.
And then there's the location.
Parkside Close is a quiet residential setting, yet you're only a short walk from Crystal Palace Park, with its huge open spaces, historic landscape, children's farm, sports facilities and famous Grade II listed dinosaur sculptures. Penge West is also around a 5–10 minute walk from the park.
Penge itself has evolved into one of south-east London's most appealing neighbourhoods, combining the convenience of Zone 4 London living with a genuine local community feel. Penge High Street offers an increasingly eclectic mix of independent cafés, restaurants, pubs and shops, meaning there's plenty to do without having to head into central London.
For commuters, the location is particularly strong. Penge East provides direct trains to Blackfriars and London Victoria in around 18 minutes, while Penge West provides access to the London Overground network and Canada Water. Nearby Crystal Palace station adds another useful transport option.
It's this combination that makes Parkside Close so appealing: a house with a garden, parking and garage, surrounded by green space, yet remarkably well connected to the rest of London.
Whether you're looking for your first house, a London base with outdoor space, or somewhere to settle down without giving up easy access to the city, this is a home that deserves to be viewed.
