THE PROPERTY
Approaching 550 sq ft of living space, this two-bedroom apartment is positioned on the ground floor of a 1930s style building approximately 0.3 miles from Forest Hill town centre.
The property offers some 1930s style features which have been sympathetically restored. Examples of this include the stripped wooden floorboards seen in the lounge, the panelled doors and door furniture, coving and high ceilings.
The lounge window is southerly facing and natural light floods this room due to the large window opening that is centred to the room. The outlook from the lounge window is green and lush and you can see trees and sky most of the year round as the building is set back from the road. The property also offers built in storage, parking, security entrance with entry phone, double glazed windows in all rooms and central heating powered by a gas boiler (installed 2017).
Due to the position of the apartment in the building, the owners benefit not only from privacy but also from having direct access to the communal gardens (via the kitchen door). As the apartment is at the end of the building, this section of garden tends to be less used by other residents.
There is a strong community feel in the building with some residents having been there many years and neighbours often stopping for a chat.
The residents' summer garden party enables all the occupants of the building to enjoy socialising and getting to know each other. Along with this there is an active residents' management company and responsive managing agents. As an example of this, buyers will note the grounds are well maintained, due to regular visits from a gardener.
A great bonus is that a healthy sinking fund is in place for maintenance and upkeep of the building.
The lease is a healthy with over 170 years remaining and a peppercorn ground rent of £0.
There are many other features buyers can fully appreciate prior to viewing and we encourage all buyers to watch the FULL HD VIDEO WALK THROUGH and the VIRTUAL REALITY TOUR.
