Set within a well-maintained, Georgian-style block, this two-bedroom leasehold apartment offers bright living spaces and immediate access to Forest Hill station. The living room benefits from high ceilings and large arched windows that flood rooms with natural light, creating an airy feel across the apartment’s compact footprint (approx. 565 sq ft).
Practical benefits include off-street parking and proximity to a wide range of shops, cafes and good local schools — useful for commuters and first-time buyers seeking convenience and short journeys into central London. The building dates from the late 1990s/early 2000s and presents as a modern take on period styling.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property is leasehold, heating is electric via room heaters (no communal gas or central heating), and broadband speeds are reported as very slow. The area records higher-than-average crime and there is no private garden; outlook is over a communal courtyard. These factors may influence running costs and suitability for some buyers.
For someone prioritising transport links, light-filled rooms and off-street parking within a popular SE23 neighbourhood, this apartment offers a convenient, affordable entry into the area, with clear potential for cosmetic improvement and technology upgrades (heating, wiring or connectivity) to add value.
