Summary - 187 FLAT 3 STANSTEAD ROAD FOREST HILL LONDON SE23 1HP
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Share of freehold, private entrance and communal garden near Forest Hill stations.
Share of freehold with 961 years remaining
This light, ground-floor Edwardian apartment offers two double bedrooms, a private entrance and share of freehold — rare benefits for this price band in SE23. The open-plan kitchen/living area and original wooden floors give the flat immediate kerb appeal, while access to a communal garden adds usable outdoor space for summer entertaining or quiet relaxation.
The property is well placed for commuters: Forest Hill and Honor Oak Park stations are within easy walking distance, with fast links into central London. Local high streets provide shops, cafes and green spaces, and a selection of well-regarded primary and secondary schools sit nearby.
There are practical considerations to note. The EPC rating is D and the building has solid brick walls with no assumed insulation, while the double glazing was installed before 2002 — further energy-improvement work may be needed. The area records above-average crime and wider local indices show some deprivation, so buyers should weigh location pros and cons.
Overall this is a sensible purchase for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a long lease (961 years), low annual service charge and straightforward updating potential. The combination of transport links, outdoor space and share of freehold presents clear value for those prepared to improve the property’s energy performance and cosmetic condition.
