Set within a semi-detached period building on Devonshire Road, this split-level one-bedroom flat offers almost 500 sq ft of well-planned space and practical chain-free ownership. The open-plan living/kitchen benefits from wood flooring, good natural light and views across the Forest Hill nature reserve, while eaves storage and FTTP broadband add useful everyday convenience.
The top-floor double bedroom includes an en-suite wet room with underfloor heating, and there is a separate full bathroom for guests — a rare two-bathroom arrangement in a one-bed. Share of freehold and a long lease (110 years remaining) give extra control over building management; service charge is low at £600 per year.
Location is a strong selling point: Forest Hill station is about 0.25 miles away with fast links into London Bridge, Victoria and Canary Wharf. The local area is inner-city cosmopolitan with cafes, restaurants, green spaces such as Blythe Hill Fields, leisure facilities and good schools nearby — well-suited to first-time buyers or downsizers seeking easy transport and local amenities.
Practical points to note: the building is solid-brick (likely without cavity insulation) and the flat is traditional in layout, so buyers wanting airtight thermal performance may wish to budget for additional insulation or improvements. There is no private parking and on-street parking is the only option. Overall, this is a compact, characterful flat in a convenient location with low annual costs and clear potential to personalise.
