The property
We take great pleasure in marketing this share of freehold, two double bedroom, period maisonette in Forest Hill which also has its own private wrap around garden (with gated off street parking / driveway) and a pergola, the loft space (with potential to extend subject to consents), and has a striking open plan kitchen / living / dining area with eye catching fireplace, high ceilings and parquet wood flooring as the centre piece of this property. We also liked that the two windows are at the front of this room flooding the main living space with natural light.
This is the kind of property that could feature in an interior design magazine and we encourage buyers to view our 360-degree images to get a sense of exactly what is on offer.
We think the visual appearance speaks for itself however there are several considerations not visible in the images which would be important to any interested buyer. These include:
An upgraded kitchen which was installed around 2017. You will note form the images that the kitchen is luxurious and oozes an Italian designer feel. The handless gloss cupboards, quartz stone worktops and marble style floor and splashback are especially striking. It’s also much larger than you might expect for a two-bedroom flat. We more commonly see kitchens this size in houses and despite there being a dedicated dining area in this property, the kitchen also has space for a small table and chairs / breakfast area.
The wash room was also upgraded approximately 3 years ago and again offers a luxurious, Italian designer feel. The overhead shower is a particularly nice touch.
The electrics were also upgraded approximately 2 years ago to include a new fuse board.
The building consists of two flats and each flat owns a share of the freehold. There are no regular maintenance charges given both the flats own the freehold. Any work required to maintain the building can be agreed on an as and when basis due to this arrangement and is in complete control of both the owners (no management company to deal with).
Schools
Kilmorie and Rathfern schools which are both ofsted rated "Outstanding" and independent St Dunstons College (3 - 18 years of age) are three out of several very well-regarded ofsted rated schools locally.
Many buyers who don’t have the budget to buy a house locally in proximity of these highly acclaimed schools will consider a property of this nature as a brilliant option.
Local recreation, transport and eating out
For those buyers who don’t know the area so well here is a summary of some of the local schools, transport and recreation found locally.
