This compact one-bedroom is particularly suited to first-time buyers or professionals seeking a stylish base close to Forest Hill station (0.2 miles). The long lease (140 years), included communal heating and hot water, and a low council tax band make running costs predictable despite an above-average service charge.
Buyers should note the flat is small (approximately 423 sq ft) and sits within a building with solid brick walls likely lacking modern cavity insulation. The service charge is around £3,600 per year (≈£300 pcm) and the area records higher-than-average local crime — factors to weigh against the lifestyle benefits.
Overall this is a characterful, commuter-friendly home with communal landscaped gardens and fast broadband — an attractive first step on the property ladder for someone prioritising location and period charm over expansive internal space.
