THE PROPERTY

The property is a first floor, 2 double bedroom period property with direct access to its own private garden via an internal staircase. Being first floor there is also access to a loft which could offer development potential subject to any consents required (we believe other flats along the street have extended into the loft), however buyers must explore this opportunity post completion.

Whilst there are many great features of the property, one of the standout features is undoubtedly the two double bedrooms. Finding a property that truly offers two double bedrooms can be a challenge. This is one such property and would appeal to many buyers for a multitude of reasons, however we know that many buyers are seeking a second bedroom that can be rented out to subsidise the cost of living and given the size and location, we are of the opinion this is one of the better options we've marketed that fulfills this purpose.

Another less noticeable great feature are the windows. As you look through the advert you will note that the window openings appear larger than expected. The openings themselves may well be larger than average however the windows are rare in that the glazing is not divided as you would expect. Most of the windows offer a single large, glazed area providing an unbroken view to outside and allowing more natural light in.

The private rear garden is circa 33 ft and has its own access via an internal staircase from the rear of the property. Again, this is something that buyers may find uncommon about first floor flats, and we consider an asset to this property.

There is free unrestricted parking on the street for those who have cars or lots of visitors. For those that don't drive the walkscore rating on this property is all green as you will note from one of the attached images. This places the property and location at the top of the desirability factor for access to all amenities by foot.

You will note that the lease is also very healthy at circa 175 years remaining. Alongside this, the leasehold costs are very appealing as there are no regular payments to make. Ground rent is £0 per year. The regular service charge contribution is £0 per year (charged on an as and when needed basis) and the one regular cost you have is building insurance which was just below £430 for the last years premium.

You will get a far better sense of the property from viewing the HD VIDEO, images, and INTERACTIVE VIRTUAL REALITY TOUR. We encourage all buyers to look through all these details before contacting us to view.

THE LOCATION

Apart from emergency access, the road is closed at the junction with Gabriel Street which means it's a dead-end road. Because of this it is quieter than many roads in the area. Many buyers may suggest the location feels more like a cul de sac given the reduced used of the road.

Garthorne nature reserve is located a few roads away from the property which is a beautiful lush green space with plenty of birdsong.

You may read more about the nature reserve here and discover why is so loved by the locals and such a benefit to live nearby. You can also read a bit about the history of the area including details on the Great North Wood and the Croydon Canal:
Undoubtedly this property offers a great location if schools and transport are top of your list, however, this location has even more to offer in the way of cafés, boutiques shops and numerous recreational facilities. We'd encourage buyers to explore the area and enjoy a coffee or dine in one of the many local eateries to appreciate the area.

The property is located in proximity to some of the most sought-after schools in the area. Several of the local schools were rated "Outstanding" by Ofsted and according to the website locrating.com the property is also in the catchment of both Harris Boys and Harris Girls academy East Dulwich.

Transport to central London stations from Honor Oak train station (which is approximately 0.3 miles from the property) includes some of the following travel times:

London Bridge in approximately 15 minutes

London Victoria in approximately 35 minutes

Canary Wharf in approximately 24 minutes

Some of our favourite local eateries include Mama Dough (a sourdough pizza restaurant) and the award-winning Babur Indian restaurant. There's also the Honor Oak gastro pub and a selection of boutique cafes and shops.

There's also the popular Le Querce which is run by a Sardinian family serving traditional dishes.

Other local attractions include One Tree Hill which is just at the top of Honor Oak Rise and offers some of the most breathtaking views across London and the city skyline.

Blythe Hill Fields which is approximately one mile away and is known by the locals for its recreational facilities and regular events. One such facility is the Trim trail which is an exercise trail.

You may look up details about Blythe Hill Fields on their website:


The Horniman gardens and museum is another well-known local point of interest. With regular events such as a farmers market and live music, we believe this will be of interest to many buyers.
