Area


Located on a quiet residential road in Forest Hill, this one-bedroom flat is an ideal purchase for first-time buyers or investors looking for a property that offers both space and convenience.

Forest Hill was rated one of the top seven best areas to live in London by The Sunday Times in their 2024 Best Places to Live guide.
Amenities


It is a 8 minutes walk from Forest Hill Overground and National Rail station, with easy access to shops, restaurants, cafés, leisure centres, and a swimming pool. An adult education centre is around 20 minutes away.

The property is ideally situated between Forest Hill and Sydenham high streets.
Sydenham high street is 12 minutes on foot, offering a wider range of shopping options.
Bell Green Retail Park is also about 20 minutes away.

Mayow Park is just a 7-minute walk, while the Horniman Museum and Gardens are also nearby, less than 20 minutes away. It is one of the best museums in London and the UK. These attractions are offering excellent green spaces close by.
Design


The main communal entrance door has a secure fob system. With just one short flight of stairs, you reach the first floor.

The flat benefits from exceptional natural light, thanks to wide windows and east–west exposure.

The layout is practical, with all rooms accessed directly from the hallway, which is finished with hardwood flooring: A bright living room and separate kitchen to the left, and a double bedroom and bathroom to the right.

The kitchen has space for a small dining table for two or three people, while still keeping the living room as a completely separate space. The living room, not being a walkthrough, can also serve as a guest room if desired.
Private and communal gardens


The property boasts a large private garden, about 15 metres from the rear of the block. It has a good rectangular shape, measuring roughly 10.2m x 12.6m (128 sqm). This is above average for a one-bedroom flat, at least in the Forest Hill area.

The garden is surrounded by other large private gardens and features an apple tree that bears fruit.

At the front, the block is set back with some of the most attractive and spacious communal gardens on Dacres Road.

The flat is low-maintenance, with affordable leasehold charges and energy costs.
It has five-year-old double-glazed windows and a three-year-old secure main entrance fire door.
A top-of-the-range Worcester boiler was installed in 2018 and has been regularly serviced.
