Carholme Road, Forest Hill

£425,000

Bright two double bedroom first floor period conversion flat of ~700 square feet, with chain free status plus a Freehold-share, period fireplaces, and pots of potential to create your perfect pad.

The street is an attractive residential one off the South Circular, close to both of the Catford stations (10 minutes by foot). You can also easily stroll to Forest Hill or Honor Oak Park for their respective town centres and stations. There are great bus routes from the foot of the street, too.

From the communal hall and stairwell, find your own front door on the first floor. You open into a larger than average hall. Both (carpeted) bedrooms are set at the rear of the property. The principal is 14 feet by over 11 feet; the respectable second is over 12 feet by nearly 10. Both face west so get great afternoon light.

The windowed bathroom is at the end of the hall, with a simple white suite, white tiling, and an over-bath shower.

The main room at the front of the flat is large at over 17 feet by nearly 14 feet and incorporates kitchen, seating and dining areas. The area around the kitchen units is tiled for practicality. East-facing windows feature here: fab for morning light.

Honor Oak Park Station is a short walk and serves up regular (three stops to London Bridge) and Windrush line services.

Local recommendations are Marchetti Cafe, Two Spoons, Miss Margherita, Blythe Hill Tavern, Moon Lane Books, Nonna Maria and Taro.

This is a particularly leafy spot to lay your hat. Local popular green public spaces include Blythe Hill Fields, One Tree Hill, Horniman Gardens, Peckham Rye Park and Common, Ladywell Fields and Hilly Fields.

Other nearby town centres include Catford, Forest Hill, Sydenham, East Dulwich, Crofton Park and Brockley.
