This two-bedroom first-floor conversion offers a compact, period apartment in a sought-after Forest Hill location, a short walk from Forest Hill station and local amenities. The flat makes efficient use of its 501 sq ft footprint with two double bedrooms and high Victorian ceilings that add character and a feeling of space. A communal garden provides outdoor space without maintenance responsibility.
Practical details suit buyers seeking an affordable entry into SE23: a 105-year lease, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and good mobile signal. Nearby schools receive strong Ofsted ratings and local shops, bus links and a Co-op are all within easy reach. The property’s size and layout also suit investors looking for rental demand in this well-connected area.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. The flat has an EPC rating of D and the building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, so heating costs and cold walls are possible without upgrades. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow, which may affect home-working until improved. The area’s broader social indicators show relative deprivation, and the flat is leasehold with communal garden access rather than private outdoor space.
Overall this property will appeal to first-time buyers or investors wanting a period apartment in a convenient location, with clear potential from cosmetic updating and insulation improvements. It’s a practical, characterful buy but one where budgeting for energy improvements and better connectivity will be sensible.
