Here is what the owner had to say:

I have found this to be an amazing location right off manor mount, the walk back from the station always makes me happy. Forest Hill is a lovely place with lots of beautiful buildings, trees lining the streets and a peaceful feel. There are loads of amazing independent restaurants, grocers and shops within walking distance, plus the Horniman and various parks and green spaces. At the same time Peckham is 10 minutes away, and East and Central London are easily accesible in 30 minutes, so you can access the livelyness and excitement of London without having the noise and bustle on your doorstep.

The flat itself is a gorgeous space to live in. All the rooms are airy, spacious and bright with lots of inbuilt storage. It's also really well insulated and stays warm throughout most of the year - I barely need to use the heating outside of January and February. Because it's at the back of the building, you get all the convenience of the location without any of the noise, with a lovely view from the living room and balcony. The balcony works really well as a low maintenance outside space, where you can have coffee in the morning, read or barbecue in the sunshine, or just chill out during the evenings and weekends. The neighbours are really friendly and have been a joy to live alongside, and there are great schools locally.

Since I bought the property I have gutted and renovated, with new flooring, a brand new boiler, and a complete redecoration. I would love to keep it but i'm going travelling next year.
The location


Westwood Park offers something both rare and unique. The entrance to one of southeast London’s popular family attractions, the Horniman Museum and Gardens, is located on the road next door circa 350 ft away from the house. This is so convenient that the gardens of the Horniman are a secondary outside space for the residents of the immediate area.

For those buyers who aren’t familiar with the Horniman museum and gardens we recommend you have a look online and visit when you are in the area.

To have something of this nature on your doorstep will appeal to many buyers. With regular events such as a farmers' market and gardens that children adore, (the sound garden and animal walk in particular), this will be of paramount interest to families.

If the above isn’t enough to tempt you, a more general view of the area will give insight into why Forest Hill has become increasingly popular in recent years and been featured on the popular TV programme “Location Location Location” several times.

Forest Hill has much to offer from boutique shops, thriving independent businesses on the high street, a great selection of green spaces and recreational facilities to great transport links and highly regarded schools.
Schools


The property is in proximity of four schools which are rated in ofsted's top 10%. In our experience, this is quite unusual and a very attractive feature of the location. Some of the highly acclaimed local schools include:

Rathfern - Early years provision – Outstanding, Leadership and management – Outstanding, Outcomes for pupils – Outstanding, Personal development, behaviour and welfare – Outstanding, Quality of teaching, learning and assessment - Outstanding

Kilmorie - Behaviour and attitudes – Good, Early years provision – Good, Leadership and management – Good, Personal development – Good, The quality of education - Good

Transport links

London Bridge in approximately 17 minutes.

Shoreditch High Street in approximately 22 minutes.

Dining out and recreation


Some of our favourite local eateries span across both Forest Hill and Honor Oak (both towns come under the same postcode) and include Mama Dough and Bona (sour dough pizza restaurants), Canvas and Cream (great local café serving a selection of cakes, food and drink. They also host some art exhibitions) and the award-winning Babur Indian restaurant. There's also the popular Le Querce which is run by a Sardinian family serving traditional dishes.

Alongside the Horniman, other local attractions include One Tree Hill at the top of Honor Oak Rise and offers some of the most breath-taking views across London and the city skyline. In our opinion this is a hidden gem.

You will also find nature reserves in proximity of the property on Devonshire Road and Garthorne Road.

There is a selection of walking trails locally via the highly acclaimed Sydenham Hill woods and Albion Millennium Green to name just a couple.

Forest Hill Library and pools have both undergone complete renovation in recent years. Forest Hill pools has fantastic swimming facilities but also has a well-equipped gym and exercise classes.

Blythe Hill Fields is known by the locals for its recreational facilities and regular events. One such facility is the Trim trail which is an exercise trail and we mustn’t forget the yearly Blythe Hill festival that brings local business and the community together for a day of fun.

We look forward to answering any questions you may have about this property and arranging your viewing.
