New to the market is this well-proportioned First-Floor 1-bedroom apartment in this private development which benefits from parking and a communal swimming pool.
This purpose built property offers approximately 490 sqft of living space. Offering one double bedroom, an open-plan living room and kitchen, family bathroom, parking, a communal swimming pool and communal gardens this is an ideal opportunity for someone looking for a first time home.

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.

Here is what the owner:

It's a lovely development to live in, it's quiet and there's no trouble or noise ever. We have private parking and lovely grounds with a pool which is great to have on site. Specific to my flat I love the layout and the size of the rooms, the bedroom is quite large and there's still a nice amount of space with a kingsize bed and fitted wardrobes. Also the living room is huge and could easily be split into living room/dining room.

What renovation or upgrade works have you done to the property since you have owned it i.e. loft conversion, extension, new kitchen, bathroom, boiler, roof, windows etc

Complete new bathroom, fitted wardrobes, blinds in every room, new carpets and redecorated the whole flat.

The pwner is only selling as they are moving abroad.
