LEASEHOLD

Set on this quiet residential development is this property split over three levels and situated in the heart of Forest Hill. Spanning approximately 990 sqft this property offers a reception room with a private balcony, a well-sized open plan dining room/kitchen, three double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate downstairs WC.
The property benefits from a private front garden. The most unique feature of the property is the lay out, with rooms situated over multiple floors and a 'mezzanine' level living room which allows light to flow right the way through the property.
Wastdale Road is very well located and residents are able to enjoy a plethora of bars, restaurants and coffee shops as well as extensive parks and open green spaces.

HERE IS WHAT THE OWNERS HAD TO SAY:

We love the design of this property. Its very spacious and the living room mezzanine is a unique feature which adds to that sense of openness.
There is a good amount of outdoor space which is useable all day – the sun shines on the balcony in the morning and moves round to the front garden in the afternoon.
On a practical level there is lots of useful storage throughout the house, particularly under the stairs which is large enough to store bikes.
The location of the property is ideal, being half way between Forest Hill and Honor Oak Park meaning that not only are there all the local amenities in both hubs, but also travel into central London is quick and easy.
The residential area itself is very quiet with a lovely communal green, lots of trees and plenty of parking spaces for residents.
