A three-bedroom period apartment on Sunderland Road offered at £330,000—an affordable entry into Forest Hill with strong location benefits. High ceilings, sash windows and original Victorian details give the flat character and scope to create a stylish family home or a refurbishment-led investment.
The property requires comprehensive updating: photos and inspection note damp and mould in places, worn kitchen fittings, scuffed floors and plaster/paint deterioration. Walls are solid brick with no known insulation; glazing is double but install date is unknown. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators; the EPC is D. The apartment is leasehold and the building sits within communal gardens with off-street parking.
At around 689 sq ft, rooms are small-to-average in scale; two double bedrooms plus a single bedroom and one family bathroom suit families or sharers who value location over generous internal space. Transport links are strong—Forest Hill station is nearby with Overground and Southern services to central London. The area has good primary and secondary schools, the Horniman Museum and local shops, cafés and leisure facilities.
Practical drawbacks to budget and timeline: the property needs refurbishment throughout (cosmetic and likely some remedial works), broadband speeds are reported very slow, and the neighbourhood is classified as deprived with average crime levels. Buyers should factor renovation costs, leasehold considerations and potential damp remediation into their offer and timelines.
