Show apartment now open - gated development - victorian conversion

Enmore Mews is a prestigious gated development of seven apartments, including a luxury penthouse, and two four bedroom mews houses set back from the road in private, landscaped gardens. Formerly the premises of the thriving Woodside Conservative Club, the property has been sympathetically restored and improved to provide a landmark building for residents in South Norwood.

Offering exemplary craftsmanship, this beautifully designed two double bedroom apartment occupies the raised ground floor of a lovingly refurbished grand, late 19th century villa and boasts nearly 700 square feet of living and entertaining space, with a glorious mix of modern luxury and period detail.

Throughout the apartment, the quality of finish is apparent, there are handcrafted solid wood doors, window frames, skirting boards, solid oak floors and bespoke kitchen cabinets. The open plan kitchen/reception room has been designed to complement the height of the bay windows and ceilings, which are a striking feature of the building.

The two double bedrooms are beautifully appointed and the luxurious bathroom is fitted to a very high specification based on an original 19th century design with Burlington high-level cistern and Landmark freestanding heritage boat bath. There is generous hallway storage within this stunning apartment.

Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale and fine quality of this property.

The Great North Wood gave the Norwood area its name. The vast, natural oak forest covered four miles of South London to the outskirts of Croydon. Wealthy Victorians would travel from the city to holiday in Norwood, considered one of the healthiest parts of London for its clean air straight from the South Coast. They would bathe in the healing waters at the natural Beulah Spa and built many of the enormous villas found here as second homes. Today the air is still just as fresh due to the elevated geography and plethora of green open spaces.

South Norwood is the cousin of Upper Norwood; nearby Crystal Palace with its famous park, bars, boutiques and restaurants and stunning views across the City of London; and West Norwood which now hosts the foodies favourite, the monthly West Norwood Feast. Crystal Palace football club has its home at Selhurst Park, and the area is well served with local stores, supermarkets and the easily accessible retail hubs of Croydon and Bromley. Not forgetting the new Croydon Westfield shopping centre with a tentative opening date for late 2019.

South Norwood and Norwood Junction are bustling and diverse places to live, with superb fast transport links to London Bridge and London Victoria (20 minutes), Clapham Junction, Dalston Junction and Shepherds Bush. Road links are also excellent to the South Coast and M25.

Just round the corner is newly refurbished South Norwood Leisure Centre and for those who enjoy fresh air exercise, the 125-acre South Norwood Country Park and South Norwood Lakes, used by Croydon Sailing Club are within walking distance from Enmore Mews. The local Ashburton Park regularly hosts fairs and events in the summer months, such as the annual South Norwood Arts Festival (snaf).

The novelist Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle once lived in South Norwood and referenced the area in at least two of his Sherlock Holmes novels. Sir Winston Churchill visited the local Conservative Club in 1912.

Enmore Mews is located on Enmore Road, which is a short walk from Norwood Junction Station, from where there are regular services to Victoria and London Bridge (typically 10 mins to London Bridge). Clapham Junction, Canary Wharf and Kings Cross St Pancras are all within 25 to 45 minutes journey time on the train ().
