Summary - 34a, Dacres Road SE23 2NW
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright first-floor flat with a large private garden and fast links to Forest Hill station.
Chain-free one-bedroom flat with separate living room and kitchen
A bright, chain-free one-bedroom flat on Dacres Road offering generous living space and a rare, large private garden for Forest Hill. The flat sits on the first floor of a mid-20th-century block, with double glazing, gas central heating and a Worcester boiler installed in 2018. Recent communal works include a refurbished roof and entrance; the flat benefits from good natural light and a practical layout with separate living room and kitchen.
This home is well placed for commuters: Forest Hill Overground and National Rail are within easy walking distance, with fast connections into Central London and Canary Wharf. Local amenities, parks including Mayow Park and the Horniman Museum, and several good primary and secondary schools are all nearby, making it suitable for first-time buyers seeking space and connections.
Buyers should note material factors: the property is leasehold with 88 years remaining, a service charge around £1,440 pa and a ground rent of £10 (payable terms to be verified). The rear garden is overgrown and will need landscaping work; the building’s original solid-brick walls are assumed to have no added insulation. Crime levels in the area are above average and the wider area is classified as relatively deprived — factors to consider for long-term value and insurance.
Overall this is a practical, low-maintenance flat with a standout private garden and strong transport links. It suits first-time buyers or investors prepared to manage a leasehold purchase and carry out exterior garden improvement works to unlock full potential.
