Summary - 83 PAXTON ROAD LONDON SE23 2QH
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Well-presented ground-floor one-bed with pool access and parking — ideal first-time buy.
Allocated off-street parking space included
This well-presented one-bedroom ground-floor flat offers an accessible first-time buy or buy-to-let opportunity in Forest Hill. The apartment includes an open-plan lounge/diner, modern bathroom, double glazing and an allocated off-street parking space — practical features for everyday living. Residents also benefit from communal gardens and access to an on-site swimming pool, uncommon extras for this price band.
The property sits about 0.6 miles from the town centre, with Forest Hill and Sydenham stations within reach and a variety of shops, bars and cafés nearby. Local schools have good Ofsted ratings and the area is classified as inner-city cosmopolitan with a strong presence of tech workers, supporting rental demand and long-term appeal.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold with 92 years remaining, a service charge of £2,109.08 per year and a ground rent of £100 per year. Heating is electric via room heaters, which can be more expensive than gas central heating. Prospective buyers should check lease length and service charge implications with their solicitor and mortgage lender.
Overall, this compact 47 sqm apartment is a straightforward, low-maintenance option for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-located flat with useful communal amenities. It offers immediate move-in condition but carries typical leasehold costs that should be factored into affordability calculations.
