About this home
Property Ref: S7150
A characterful and well-presented one-bedroom ground floor flat on Devonshire Road, offering approximately 652 sq ft (61 sq m) of thoughtfully arranged accommodation together with a particularly generous rear garden.
The property combines the proportions and character of a period conversion with a bright, individual interior. At the front is an impressive 16'11" bay-fronted reception room, centred around a feature fireplace with a bold green accent wall and offering plenty of space for relaxing and entertaining. A separate dining room sits at the heart of the flat, while the hallway also incorporates a useful dedicated home-working area.
To the rear, the fitted kitchen features contemporary white cabinetry, timber-effect work surfaces and tiled splashbacks, with a door opening directly onto the garden. The generous double bedroom overlooks the rear, while the bathroom has been finished with a distinctive monochrome scheme including a checkerboard floor, tiled bath surround and dark vanity unit.
Outside is one of the property's strongest features: a substantial rear garden measuring approximately 50'1" x 22'4" (15.3m x 6.8m), with a decked seating area, established planting and plenty of space for outdoor dining, gardening and entertaining.
The location is equally appealing. The property sits in the Honor Oak/Forest Hill area of SE23, with Honor Oak Park station approximately 200 metres from the postcode, providing London Overground and National Rail connections, including direct services to London Bridge and Overground links towards Canada Water, Whitechapel and Shoreditch. Devonshire Road Nature Reserve is also situated on the same road, while the Horniman Museum and Gardens and the shops, cafés and amenities of Forest Hill and Honor Oak are within the wider local area. Additional transport link within 15 min walk from the building is Crofton Park station, providing quick access to the centre of the city: Blackfriars, City Thameslink, Farringdon and St Pancras International Station.
The property also benefits for a exceptional 983 years of lease and no service charge. This home combines character with practical and low-maintenance ownership.
