Capitol Walk, Forest Hill, London

Very cool cedar-clad single storey modern mews house of 914 square feet, with two double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a huge open-plan kitchen/reception, and a generous and very private garden. Chain free.

The leafy location for your lateral living is a tucked-away spot, just a four minute walk from Forest Hill Station (Fare Zone 3), useful bus routes, and delightful town centre.

A secret-garden-style gate from the public pavement reveals your hidden oasis community. From a cobbled pathway, take stairs up to your place/your own front door. This is double-glazed, letting great light through the corridor, and setting the light and bright scene.

First to your left is a double bedroom of over 13 feet by over 9 feet. This has a door out to the garden (as does your other bedroom; nice!). Next door is the property’s main bathroom with modern fittings, a white suite, and an over-bath shower.

To-the-ceiling storage cupboards are next on your left traveling through the hall, then you have your main bedroom to your left. This is over 13 feet by over 11 feet, and enjoys a neat and windowed en suite bathroom.

At the end of the hall, the best bit awaits! Your roomy main room which incorporates kitchen, lounge and dining spaces. It is a natural room for entertaining, with studio-style lights (plus pendants over the dining area) and with a sleek modern kitchen (integrated appliances are included in the sale). Underfloor heating flows throughout. Double-glazed double doors deliver you to your notably private lawned garden which gets plenty of sun.

What a one-off find, and what a spot! Locally, you have loads of green space to explore and enjoy: examples are Horniman Gardens, One Tree Hill, Mayow Park, Sydenham Woods, Dacres' Wood and Devonshire Road nature reserves, plus Albion Millennium Green.

Forest Hill has a buzzy, friendly, and easy to navigate centre, with a strong leisure centre/pool, and a large Sainsbury’s store plus plenty of pleasing independent offerings besides; including a butcher/deli and multiple cute cafes/coffee shops. We particularly highly rate St David Coffee House. The Sylvan Post is one of a handful of strong 'locals' - a quirky real ale place with good food in an old Post Office building. The Foresters Arms is a new FH addition with own-brewed beers. We like Big Cheeks for Thai and Bona for pizza. Up on Kirkdale, The Moustache cafe/bar is great.

Your neighbouring walkable town centres are Sydenham, Honor Oak and East Dulwich. Bus or cycle to Peckham, Camberwell and beyond.
