Taymount Grange is a residential street located in the Forest Hill area of the London Borough of Lewisham, with a mix of properties ranging from purpose built and converted flats, terraced houses and larger detached homes. Many of the buildings on the street date back to the Victorian and Edwardian periods.

The street is situated on a hill and is a popular location for families and young professionals, thanks to its proximity to a range of local amenities, including shops, cafes, and restaurants on nearby Dartmouth Road and Forest Hill Road.

The Horniman Museum and Gardens, which is located nearby, is a popular local attraction that features a range of exhibits and events, including a natural history gallery, an aquarium, and a collection of musical instruments from around the world. The museum is set in beautiful gardens that offer stunning views over London and the surrounding area.

Overall, Taymount Rise SE23 is a desirable location for those looking for a residential area with good transport links, a range of local amenities, and easy access to green spaces and cultural attractions.

Here is what the owner had to say about the property:

Like most:

- The light! As as the property is west facing it still gets sun even in the depths of winter. I also love having natural light in every room.

- The neighbours. We have an incredible community of kind and creative civic-minded folks.

- The greenery. I love waking up to a leafy view. There's also a community-run allotment at the bottom of the garden you can sign up for, as well as plenty of wraparound greenery.

- Our caretaker, he's incredibly helpful and also the first touchpoint for a lot of folks new to the building.

- The wildlife. Taymount Grange is quiet, leafy, and protected from all sides. We've been lucky enough to have fox cubs on our side for a couple of years - it's such a privilege to look out the window and see them play and grow.

- How safe (and quiet) it is. A particular benefit if you're ever coming home late at night or alone.

- The architecture. We have beautiful art deco features - original crittall frames, brass details and wooden floors. I love the generous proportions of the rooms, the flexibility of the space itself and the excellent storage.

- Central heating. It's handy not having to worry about servicing and maintaining your own boiler.

The flat is right in the middle (both vertically and horizontally) between a bunch of other flats and our heating works wonderfully, so it's always cosy. The heating in the whole block is usually on October - March, and there is a heating towel rail in the bathroom which can be used and adjusted year round. All other heating also fully adjustable.

We also have a very strong and proactive residents association.
