Set on desirable Devonshire Road, this one-bedroom period conversion combines classic Victorian character with a private rear garden — a rare find for a flat in SE23. The bright reception room, fireplace and bay-window frontage give immediate period charm, while the layout and 527 sqft of space suit a first-time buyer looking for comfortable city living with outdoor amenity.
Practical ownership is straightforward: share of freehold, approximately 121 years remaining on the lease and sold chain-free. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed (install date not confirmed). Broadband and mobile signals are described as strong, and the area scores as affluent with low crime and good local schools nearby.
There is scope to update and add value — the building is a period terrace with solid brick walls (no added cavity insulation assumed) and the interior will likely benefit from modernization to match contemporary standards. Note the service charge is around £2,400 per year and should be factored into running costs; council tax sits in Band B and is described as inexpensive.
Location is a clear selling point: quick routes to Forest Hill and Honor Oak Park stations, nearby green spaces including Horniman Gardens and Blythe Hill Fields, plus independent cafés and amenities on hand. Overall this is a characterful, well-located flat with sensible ownership terms and potential to personalise for long-term living or rental income.
