What the owner says:
"I have lived at this address for over 30 years on and off and have nothing but happy memories.
Particularly during the pandemic in which a real sense of community was formed.
There's now a communal vegetable garden if you are of a horticultural nature.
The swimming pool is of course a great asset and is now booked by residents by the hour so one can swim in private.
The gardens are extremely well maintained, with I consider a particular lovely view from the property.
The development is managed by a committee of residents and there's a private Facebook group keeping all residents informed of day to day living, also handy for when you're out and missed that parcel."
We understand this flat is in part of the development that was completed by the prestigious house builder Charles Church.
This studio flat is situated on the ground floor of a private development which offers many features for a very reasonable price. The services charges are lower than you might expect considering how much this property offers.
The flat comes with allocated off street parking, access to an onsite swimming pool and zen garden all of which are included in the service charge.
The service charge which is approximately £1250 per year (please check with Hunters for a more exact costs) also includes the following (which the vendor has advised us about) which is why we feel it offers great value for money:
.On site cleaner / care taker
.On site gardener
.Building insurance
.Internal communal area cleaning
.Exterior decoration every 5 years
.Internal decoration every 3 years
The value of the onsite care taker and gardener is apparent when you enter the development. The development and grounds are generally well presented.
In our opinion it's rare to find a studio that offers a separate bathroom and kitchen. Due to this the flat feels very similar to a one-bedroom property. In fact, the flexible layout and overall size of the studios in Paxton Road have allowed a few properties to change their layout and create a separate bedroom / sleeping area.
The flat itself offers over 340 sq ft of living space which is only slightly smaller than some one-bedroom flats.
With so much to offer at an affordable price in the Forest Hill area, we believe this property offers great value for a first-time buyer, long term investor or someone wishing to downsize.
Paxton Road is located approximately 0.7 miles to Forest Hill station and town centre and approximately 0.6 miles to Bell Retail Park which is home to some well-known shops such as Next, Sports Direct, B&Q, Next, Costa and McDonalds Drive through. A large Sainsbury's is situated next to the retail park. Just past the Sainsbury's you will also find Lower Sydenham station.
Travel times on offer from both Forest Hill and Lower Sydenham (London Overground) include:
Croydon in approximately 20 minutes
London Bridge in approximately 17 minutes
Victoria in approximately 40 minutes
Charring Cross in approximately 26 minutes
Canary Wharf in approximately 23 minutes
Local recreational facilities include leisure centres, a sports and social club, the well-known popular open green spaces of Mayow Park and a selection of cafés and restaurants which can be found in both Forest Hill and Sydenham.

Property information from this agent
About this agent
It’s a gorgeous suburban pocket of South East London, belonging to lively borough of Lewisham. Looking to sell or let your property in South East London? Look no further. We firmly believe we offer a better experience than internet agents, with less chance of a sale falling through and a good chance at getting a better offer. Why not get the process started with a free, no-obligation property valuation. This can be done in seconds online (see below) or contact us if you’d like an agent to take a look around your property. At Hunters we do the viewings in person so you get more offers. According to The National Association of Estate Agents, it's twice as likely you'll receive an offer if your estate agent conducts the viewings. Our bespoke accompanied viewing structure also ensures each potential buyer or tenant is given enough time to view your property, in addition to all relevant information during the viewing. As our branch is independently owned but part of the UK-wide Hunters Estate Agents network, our staff have benefitted from the ILM and City & Guilds accredited Hunters training academy. This has shaped our staff into more fully rounded property professionals, able to handle sales and lettings in a market- leading capacity. As our team recognises that the way your property is marketed could affect the value by approximately 15%, we invest in top marketing strategies to maximise the value; including professional photography and floor plans. The latter has proven to generate up to 30% more interest from potential buyers and tenants. We also provide professionally narrated videos of properties which are great to use for YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and other social media marketing. The videos are interactive and can show buyers where the nearest facilities are such as schools, transport, shops, restaurant’s to name a few.
