Set over split levels within a handsome Victorian building, this chain-free two-bedroom flat offers 738 sq ft of characterful living close to Forest Hill and Honor Oak stations. High ceilings and period bay windows bring natural light to the principal rooms, while a private garden provides valuable outdoor space for urban living.
The layout suits a first-time buyer or couple seeking room to grow: two bedrooms, a single bathroom and a separate reception give flexible space for working from home. The property is leasehold with a ground rent of £300 and an EPC rating of C — broadly efficient but not exceptional.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the building has solid brick walls that appear uninsulated (typical of the era), broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and there is only one bathroom. These are manageable for many purchasers but may influence renovation plans and monthly running costs.
Overall this is a well-located, characterful flat with private outdoor space and no onward chain. It will suit a first-time buyer or couple who value period features and access to good local schools and transport, and who are comfortable addressing modest retrofit or tech upgrades over time.
