Set within a handsome post-war conversion on Devonshire Road, this two-bedroom raised-ground apartment blends period character with updated living spaces. The living room is bright and airy with timber floors and large windows, while the property benefits from communal gardens and a share of the freehold — useful for long-term control of the building.
At 556 sq ft the flat is compact but well laid out, offering two bedrooms and a single bathroom. It will suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-entry London flat close to both Forest Hill and Honor Oak stations. Local schools perform well and nearby green spaces and amenities add strong lifestyle appeal.
Buyers should note some practical constraints: walls are cavity with no installed insulation (assumed), broadband speeds are very slow, and the building dates from the 1950s–60s. These factors may mean future improvement works (insulation, broadband upgrade) and associated costs. Overall condition is described as good, making this a straightforward purchase with clear potential to increase comfort and value through modest upgrades.
