Set on the ground floor with its own front door, this chain-free two double-bedroom apartment offers accessible living in a quiet, well-connected pocket of Forest Hill. The reception room and bedrooms are bright and naturally lit, with wooden floors and built-in storage creating a comfortable, move-in-ready feel. Off-street parking and communal gardens add practical outdoor space rarely found at this price point.
The location is a major selling point: roughly a 8–10 minute walk to Forest Hill and Sydenham Hill stations for fast Overground and National Rail links into central London, plus easy access to the Horniman Museum and Dulwich Wood for weekend greenery. Local amenities include cafés, restaurants, and reputable schools such as Eliot Bank Primary, making the flat suitable for first-time buyers or young families seeking convenience and green space.
The property is leasehold (about 95 years remaining), with service charge and ground rent to be confirmed — important for budgets and mortgage eligibility. The EPC rating is D; the building has solid brick walls (insulation status assumed minimal) and double glazing of unknown age. These factors indicate potential for energy-efficiency improvements and possible refurbishment to increase comfort and long-term value.
In short, this modestly sized, well-located ground-floor apartment suits buyers wanting an affordable entry into SE23 with good transport links, outdoor space and straightforward accommodation. It offers immediate usability with clear scope to personalise and upgrade to improve energy performance and resale potential.
