THE PROPERTY:

Deans Gate is a small cul de sac in a popular part of Forest Hill SE23 in proximity to green spaces and the town centre where many amenities are located. We’ll provide a brief of the area below, so please read our description to the end.

The property being sold is a FIRST and SECOND floor maisonette with the added benefit of a GARAGE, parking and TWO DOUBLE BEDROOMS.

The property has its own front door on the ground floor and as such is actually split over ground, first and second floors (three floors) of the building although the living spaces are over the top two floors.

Internally the floor space is over 800 sq ft which is larger than some two-bedroom houses. In fact, as the property has its own front door and is split over three floors with its own internal staircases, it really does feel like a house inside. Describing the property as a flat / maisonette doesn’t do it justice. We would strongly advise you have a look at the floor plan to better understand the layout and what the property offers.

There is also access to the loft from the top floor as well as the rarely found TWO DOUBLE bedrooms. Often the second bedroom is a smaller bedroom by quite a margin, but in this instance both bedrooms are similar size doubles and measure almost 15ft each. Many buyers are keen to subsidise their costs by renting the second bedroom. A second bedroom of this size would be very well suited to this purpose.

THE LOCATION:

Located approximately 0.6 miles to Forest Hill station and Sydenham station in the opposite direction, the property is well located for amenities and transport links.

Forest Hill features several small independent high street conveniences including an award-winning butcher, some fantastic cafes, several boutique shops selling clothing and furniture as well as a few great modern, gastro and family friendly pubs.

The Sylvan Post, Canvas and Cream and Stag and Bow all variously host, music events, exhibitions and craft days.

However, if you require the convenience of a large well known supermarket and other known high street names, you will find Sainsbury’s, Boots and WH Smith along the high street too.

SCHOOLS ARE A BIG ATTRACTION IN FOREST HILL:

The property is in proximity of several local schools which have been in Ofsted's top 10%. In our experience, it’s unusual to find a property that is located to this many highly-rated schools. Four of those schools are as follows;

St Dunstan's College - Church of England, mixed, primary and secondary. This is a private school.

Fairlawn - Public, mixed, primary, rated Ofsted "Outstanding".

Kilmorie - Public, mixed, primary, rated Ofsted "Outstanding".

Dalmain - Public, mixed, primary, rated Ofsted "Good".
