Marler Road, London, SE23

Set on one of Forest Hill’s most desirable residential roads, this elegant two-bedroom Victorian first-floor maisonette offers 662 sq ft of beautifully arranged living space, a share of freehold, no service charges or ground rent, and the rare added benefit of loft access with potential to extend (STPP) – giving buyers the flexibility to grow into the home over time.

Inside, the property immediately impresses with the sense of volume typical of a Victorian conversion. The bright and spacious landing sets the tone, leading into a superb front reception room framed by tall ceilings, a striking bay window that floods the space with natural light, and a charming feature fireplace. It’s a room that lends itself perfectly to entertaining, relaxing, or working from home in comfort and style.

Both bedrooms are excellent doubles. The rear bedroom is particularly appealing, benefitting from a south-facing aspect overlooking the neighbouring gardens, creating a peaceful atmosphere and beautiful natural light throughout the day. The kitchen and bathroom are both relatively modern and well-presented, offering immediate liveability while still leaving scope for personal touches.

Families benefit from access to highly rated local schools, including Kilmorie Primary, Dalmain Primary, Rathfern Primary and St William of York, all well regarded and close to the property.
