This chain-free, ground-floor leasehold apartment sits in a low-rise brick block on Church Vale, a short walk from Forest Hill station. At around 456 sq ft the layout is compact and efficient: entrance hall, lounge, fitted kitchen, double bedroom and three-piece bathroom. The communal landscaped garden provides outdoor space despite no private garden.
Transport links are the flat’s strongest asset — Forest Hill offers National Rail and London Overground services into Central London, making this a practical option for commuters. The local neighbourhood is well served by shops, cafés, markets and a lively selection of bars and restaurants, plus several Good-rated primary and secondary schools nearby.
The property is presented in tidy but basic condition with dated finishes; it benefits from central heating, mains gas boiler, and double glazing installed before 2002. Built in the 1950s–66 period with solid brick walls (no assumed insulation), the flat offers straightforward potential to increase value through cosmetic upgrading and targeted refurbishment.
Important practical points: the tenure is leasehold and the building’s solid-brick construction means thermal upgrades may be limited without structural works. The apartment is small, best suited to a first-time buyer wanting an affordable entry into SE23 or an investor seeking a rental unit with good transport links and refurbishment upside.
