Bright, contemporary and move-in ready, this two-bedroom apartment in Percy Mansions is a strong choice for first-time buyers seeking low-maintenance city living. Built in 2022 and newly renovated, the flat provides modern finishes throughout, two double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a private balcony that brings sunlight into the open-plan living space. The ongoing builder’s warranty and EPC B add reassurance on energy performance and recent work.
Set roughly 704 sq ft, the layout feels well-proportioned with ample storage, a sleek kitchen with stone worktops and integrated appliances, and practical extras such as an air ventilation system, lift access and residents’ cycle storage. Forest Hill station is a short walk away with frequent Overground services into central London, while local cafés, shops and Mayow Park are within easy reach — a convenient urban location for commuting and leisure.
Buyers should be aware this is a leasehold property (chain free) with a very long lease remaining (995 years), and modest council tax. The neighbourhood records above-average crime rates and the wider area is classed as very deprived, factors to consider for those prioritising local social metrics. Overall, this modern apartment suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors looking for a low-effort home with contemporary comforts and strong transport links.
