Cottingham Road is a quiet residential road of similar period houses in the heart of Penge.

There are several good schools close by as well as a wealth of green spaces and parks including the award-winning Crystal Palace Park.

"My mum loved the bright and spacious feel of the house and the beautiful and easily manageable garden. She stayed almost 40 years and saw many changes, but the important things remained the same....the road is very quiet, yet so convenient for Penge High Street and an excellent range of transport links. The road has a strong community spirit and mum made friends with many neighbours. Her immediate neighbour has been there almost as long as mum and became a great friend, sharing gardening duties! The other immediate neighbours are a quiet family with two small children who have stayed in their house for about 5 years, partly because they are so impressed with the local schools."
