Located on Sunderland road which is notably one of Forest Hill’s premier roads. The road is wide, tree lined and offers a mix of property styles, however it’s reputed for large period houses many of which are detached and demi detached. This flat is in one such semi detached building which has a very pleasant curb appeal.
The property is a two-bedroom period flat offering over 500 sq ft of living accommodation and garden access.
The property offers two bedrooms (one smaller second bedroom), a lounge with a bay window composed of three sash windows which is a nice feature of this room which extends to over 13.5 ft.
