Set within the attractive Taymount Grange, this chain-free one-bedroom flat offers bright, characterful accommodation and leafy outlooks across communal gardens. Recently renovated kitchen and modern appliances create move-in-ready convenience for first-time buyers or investors seeking reliable rental appeal. The apartment benefits from lift access, communal heating and generous natural light in every room, creating a warm, low-hassle home in a well-regarded Forest Hill location.
Practical points are straightforward: the flat is leasehold with 107 years remaining, an annual service charge of £4,195.26 and a small ground rent of £100. Heating is provided by a communal scheme (no private boiler to maintain) and broadband is FTTP, but parking is on-street only and there is no private garden. Buyers should note the above-average service charge and the local area's higher crime level when weighing long-term costs and suitability.
The property’s most persuasive features are its light-filled rooms, original timber floors and elevated green views from every window — qualities that make compact living feel more spacious. Proximity to Forest Hill station, local schools (several with strong Ofsted ratings), Horniman Gardens and nearby shops and restaurants adds daily convenience and long-term location value.
Overall, this flat suits a purchaser seeking an affordable, low-maintenance home with character and excellent transport links, or an investor after a well-presented, easily managed rental in a sought-after SE23 pocket.
