Summary - KENDAL HOUSE FLAT 5 CARHOLME ROAD LONDON SE23 2HU
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Light-filled first-floor home ideal for first-time buyers and commuters.
Chain-free with a 996-year lease and share of freehold
A bright, chain-free two-bedroom apartment on Carholme Road offering an easy first step onto the property ladder. The apartment sits on the first floor of a purpose-built block and benefits from a long lease (996 years) and a share of the freehold, reducing long-term ownership uncertainty.
Interior highlights include a light 18ft reception room, two double bedrooms, a separate fitted kitchen and a neutral bathroom — rooms that feel larger than average thanks to good natural light. Outside the development provides well-maintained communal gardens, off-street parking and secure bike storage. The service charge covers building insurance and communal upkeep.
Transport links are a genuine strength: Forest Hill, Honor Oak Park and nearby stations connect quickly into central London, making commuting straightforward. Local amenities are strong for day-to-day life — cafes, pubs, parks and several highly rated schools nearby.
Matters to note: the service charge is approximately £2,500 per year, which buyers should factor into monthly costs. The building was constructed in the 1980s with a timber-frame construction and double glazing of unknown installation date; anyone seeking detailed construction history or upgrade records should investigate. The area has pockets of deprivation and average local crime statistics, so viewings will help assess whether the neighbourhood suits your needs.
