Set within a handsome Victorian terrace on Devonshire Road, this newly refurbished one-bedroom conversion offers more than 650 sq ft of bright, open-plan living. High ceilings, a bay-front reception and wood flooring create a spacious feel, while the contemporary kitchen and bathroom mean the flat is ready to occupy. A communal garden provides outside space without maintenance responsibility.
The property is chain free and well-suited to a first-time buyer or couple seeking characterful, move-in accommodation with good transport links to central London via Honor Oak Park and Forest Hill. The layout is conventional and practical, with natural light to both front and rear aspects and potential to add value through modest cosmetic changes if desired.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat served by a community heating scheme and mains gas; there may be service arrangements and charges attached. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow, and local crime levels are above average — factors to consider for home-working or security-conscious purchasers. The building’s solid brick walls are assumed to be uninsulated, which may affect heating costs despite the community scheme.
Overall this is a well-presented, characterful Victorian conversion in a lively, amenity-rich neighbourhood. It offers a straightforward purchase for someone prioritising space, period features and immediate occupation, while buyers wanting the fastest internet or lower local crime should investigate those specifics further.
