1 Bed Flat, Belle Vue Court, SE23

A delightful one bedroom, one bathroom flat on a very desirable street, 5 minutes from Forest Hill station and town centre, Available to move in from 15th November 2024 when this flat will be newly renovated. It benefits from a large leafy shared garden, with a bike shed, available parking and smart heating controls. Currently rated EPC D, the conscientious landlord plans to achieve EPC C in the very near future.  The property is offered unfurnished (with white goods) or possibly part-furnished if desired. 

This is a quiet, characterful, high-ceilinged flat on the ground floor at the rear of a very handsome Victorian mansion block. Belle Vue Court is on leafy Devonshire Road, literally 5 mins walk from the station and town centre. Forest Hill is on the brilliant Overground, the 'ginger line' - super quick connection to the Jubilee Line at Canada Water,  then very speedy for Canary Wharf, Stratford or to the West End.  The Overground goes direct from Forest Hill to Shorditch, Dalston and Highbury and Islington. There are also regular Southern trains (London Bridge in 12 mins, Victoria in 30). Lots of useful buses and night buses. There is free and plentiful on-street parking, but an off-street parking space may be negotiated separately. There is secure bike storage available at a small extra cost.

The town centre has a big Sainsbury's, a Chinese supermarket, delis and all the usual shops and services,  plus a fab leisure centre and pools. You'll very much enjoy all the great pubs, bars, restaurants, coffee shops, farmers' market, independent boutiques, music, cabaret and comedy venues, artist studios and well-being studios, that contribute to the cool vibe of this lovely area. So much going on, and with glorious green spaces all around, just perfect for local exercise - don't miss the Devonshire Road Nature Reserve - a real hidden gem right next door to the flat, the unique Horniman Museum with its award-winning gardens and staggering views over London, or Sydenham/Dulwich woods, where you can really get away from it all. Beautiful Dulwich Park, Dulwich Picture Gallery and village,  are a short distance away, trendy East Dulwich is an 8 minute bus ride away and vibrant Peckham just down the way. It's a brilliant area, green but buzzing and with excellent transport links.

The flat itself is at the back of the building on the ground floor, very quiet and private. The sitting room (15'4 x 11'2) with its three big sash windows and separate study/dining area, is wonderfully light. It overlooks the beautiful large communal garden and the Devonshire Road Nature Reserve, and has a sense of complete privacy. The peaceful bedroom is a good size, again with a large original sash window. The kitchen also overlooks the pretty garden and is fitted with a washing machine, fridge freezer and gas cooker. The shower in the  bathroom over the bath is about to be upgraded and is smartly tiled in natural mosaic. The flat is decorated to a high standard in natural tones with a brand new neutral carpet. It is heated by gas central heating which is controlled by a smart thermostat to help minimise your energy use. It is available unfurnished (with white goods) or possibly part-furnished. 5 weeks deposit required, 12 months' assured shorthold tenancy, all references and right to rent documents essential. Suit professional single or couple. Maximum occupancy of 2.  No smoking, one well behaved cat considered (sadly the sur-lease does not allow dogs).
