Here is what the owner had to say about the property:

I’ve lived in this flat for almost four years and fell in love with it the moment I first viewed it. The layout is well designed, creating a sense of flow and openness. Being south facing with windows along both the bedroom and living room, the flat is filled with natural light throughout the day. The garden is lovely and warm, even in early spring and autumn. It also feels very energy-efficient - it heats up quickly in winter, especially when the sun is out, and stays nice and cool during hot weather.

The location is excellent. There’s a friendly pub just around the corner with a great beer garden, and the area has plenty of local shops, coffee bars, and pubs that give it a real community feel. A small park up the hill (about a ten-minute walk) offers wonderful views of the London skyline (I could enclose a picture if you think this would help) - perfect for watching fireworks on Bonfire Night or New Year’s Eve.

The transport links are very convenient: You can be door to door at London Bridge, Waterloo, Charing Cross, or Blackfriars in about 30 minutes. Honor Oak and Forest Hill stations are both close by and served by the Overground, and there’s also a direct bus route to Victoria.

I’ve really enjoyed living here and have decorated and maintained the flat with care over the years, which is why it’s bittersweet to be leaving. My partner and I are hoping to start a family soon, so it feels like the right time to move on. We love this area for its village-like atmosphere and easy access to central London, and we’re hoping to find a larger place nearby.
