Here is what the vendor had to say:
What first drew us to this flat was its character — we wanted a home with personality, and this period conversion instantly won our hearts. The staircase and light, open hallway make it feel much more like a house than a flat. As my partner often works away, I’ve also really appreciated being on the first floor — there’s no noise from above, and it feels safe and cosy at night.
The kitchen has a huge amount of storage, with cupboards reaching all the way to the ceiling. The large open-plan kitchen and living area has given us fantastic flexibility — plenty of space for cooking, a cosy TV area, and a dining table for hosting friends. The three big sash windows flood the room with natural light throughout the day. We also installed a new oven and built-in dishwasher a few years ago.
We’ve loved the main bedroom — the generous built in wardrobe and storage space has meant we’ve both had plenty of room (no arguments over drawers!).
The second bedroom has been a brilliant multi-purpose space for us. It comfortably fits a double bed while still feeling spacious, and we’ve used it as an office, dressing room, and guest bedroom when needed.
The garden has been a real bonus — perfect for BBQs and relaxed afternoons with friends. It gets lots of sun and is easy to maintain, yet still offers plenty of opportunity with the raised beds for anyone who enjoys gardening. It’s also very private and not overlooked, which we’ve really appreciated.
We also have sole direct access to a large boarded loft, which has been fantastic for storage.
The location has been ideal. Forest Hill has everything we’ve needed — great pubs, restaurants, lovely cafés for coffee or brunch, and plenty of green spaces. We’ve loved weekend walks to Dulwich Park, Crystal Palace, and along the Green Chain path. For commuting, Forest Hill station is 8 minutes walk away offering the Overground to Canada Water (and beyond) and National Rail to London Bridge have made travelling into the city really convenient.
We have really loved our time in the flat having lived here for nearly 5 years. We are sad to be moving out due to relocating with work, but we know it'll make a great home for someone else.
