Summary - LEYTON COURT, 51 FLAT 9 DEVONSHIRE ROAD LONDON SE23 3EL
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright, well-located flat minutes from the station — ideal for first-time buyers.
Chain-free two-bedroom flat, approx. 570 sq ft
Set just 0.1 miles from Forest Hill station, this chain-free two-bedroom flat is a practical city base for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The apartment is bright and well maintained, with a street-facing reception room, two double bedrooms, a tidy galley kitchen and a three-piece bathroom. Built-in hallway storage and double-glazed windows keep day-to-day living low-maintenance.
Residents benefit from an allocated off-street parking space and access to a well-kept communal garden, a rare convenience for inner-London properties. The long lease (approx. 148 years remaining) and manageable service charge mean ownership is straightforward. Local amenities, cafes and parks — including Horniman Gardens — are within easy reach.
Buyers should note a few practical drawbacks: broadband speeds are very slow locally, and the wider area records higher crime levels than average. The flat’s overall footprint is small (about 570 sq ft), so buyers needing generous living or storage space may find it limiting. There is clear scope to modernise or personalise finishes to add value over time.
Overall this is a low-effort, well-located flat that suits someone prioritising transport links and a quick, chain-free move. It works as an affordable step onto the property ladder or a straightforward rental proposition in a popular south-east London neighbourhood.
