Large renovated three-bedroom close to Forest Hill station and schools.
Top-floor Victorian apartment, generous 1,340 sqft living space
A rare, supersized three-bedroom apartment occupying the entire top floor of a handsome Victorian block, this newly renovated pad offers 1,340 sqft of flexible living designed for family life. The property currently presents three double bedrooms, a large formal reception and a substantial open-plan kitchen/diner — light-filled, dual-aspect rooms with engineered wooden floors and smart sash windows throughout. Practical extras include integrated kitchen appliances, a plumbed utility cupboard and a separate WC alongside the shower room.
The layout is flexible: the double-reception could be subdivided to create a four-bedroom home or provide dedicated space for a home office or playroom. Its tucked-away position is extremely convenient — roughly a four-minute walk to Forest Hill Station (Zone 3) and an easy stroll to the town centre, parks and well-rated primary and secondary schools, making daily life straightforward for families.
Be clear on the material facts: the apartment is leasehold with approximately 100 years remaining, an annual service charge of £927 and ground rent of £100. There is currently a single shower room plus a separate WC, which some buyers may wish to alter. The local area shows above-average crime and pockets of deprivation, so buyers should factor personal safety and local context into their decision.
Overall, this is a substantial period home that’s been sensitively updated and offers a lot of living space for the price. It will suit families seeking room to grow, buyers who value proximity to transport and green spaces, or investors seeking strong rental demand in a lively, well-connected neighbourhood.
