Devonshire Road, London

An exceptional two-bedroom garden maisonette extending to approximately 1,158 sq ft, beautifully refurbished throughout and offering a stunning 70ft private rear garden, substantial garden studio/home office, Share of Freehold and private off-street parking.
Situated on one of Forest Hill's leafy residential roads, this impressive two-bedroom maisonette has been thoughtfully refurbished and considerably improved by the current owners during their eight-year ownership. Combining generous proportions with an exceptional standard of finish, the property offers approximately 965 sq ft of accommodation, together with a further 193 sq ft garden studio/home office.

The heart of the home is the impressive open-plan reception, dining room and kitchen, measuring over 27ft in length and providing an excellent space for everyday living and entertaining. The room was created by removing a load-bearing wall and installing a steel box frame. New bi-fold doors and a double-glazed window with fitted shutters flood the space with light and provide a wonderful connection to the garden. The kitchen features a stylish shaker-style design in Hague Blue, quartz worktops and a five-burner Rangemaster cooker with double oven and grill.

A separate utility room is particularly well equipped, with bespoke fitted storage, shelving, laundry hanging space and shoe storage, while a downstairs WC benefits from underfloor heating.

Upstairs are two generous bedrooms, with the principal bedroom measuring approximately 16'7" x 13'1". Both retain their original wooden sash windows, which have been carefully refurbished and draught-proofed, together with newly sanded and varnished wooden floorboards and fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom also benefits from additional soundproofing.

The bathroom has been finished to a high standard with Lusso Stone fittings, newly tiled flooring and underfloor heating. The original staircase has been sympathetically restored, having been reinforced, sanded and finished with a stair runner.

One of the property's most impressive features is the approximately 70ft private rear garden, comprehensively landscaped by the current owners with new fencing, patio areas, raised beds, paths and carefully considered planting. A beautiful wisteria climbs the rear of the house, complemented by evergreen grasses, perennials, seasonal flowers and trees, creating a secluded and attractive outdoor space ideal for entertaining and relaxing.

At the far end of the garden is an exceptional approximately 193 sq ft garden studio/home office. The studio has its own bathroom and WC, mains drainage, air conditioning providing both heating and cooling, and a dedicated fibre optic connection. Bi-fold doors open onto the decking, while a green/living roof, birch ply interior and waterproofed cork flooring create an attractive, natural finish.
Currently arranged as a home office and music studio, this versatile space could provide an excellent working environment, creative studio, gym or other flexible-use space, subject to any necessary consents. A large adjoining shed provides further storage.

The property also benefits from private off-street parking with side access, a significant advantage in this part of Forest Hill. The roof has been completely replaced in recent years and the property has also been substantially re-plumbed and re-wired, with a new fuse box installed approximately three years ago.

The property is offered with a Share of Freehold and a very long lease with 991 years remaining. There are just two flats within the building and there is no ground rent or service charge.

Devonshire Road is ideally positioned for the excellent amenities of Forest Hill, Honor Oak and the surrounding SE23 area. The property is within easy reach of the Horniman Museum and Gardens, while Blythe Hill Fields, Honor Oak Recreation Ground and Hilly Fields provide an excellent choice of green spaces.

Dulwich Park and the village are also nearby, with their popular independent shops, cafés and restaurants, while Peckham is easily accessible and offers an extensive selection of bars, restaurants, markets and independent businesses.

Transport connections are excellent, with Honor Oak Park station providing Overground and National Rail services, including convenient connections towards London Bridge and central London.

A genuinely impressive and highly individual home, combining approximately 1,158 sq ft of accommodation, a superb private garden, exceptional garden studio and private parking with a high standard of refurbishment throughout. Viewing is highly recommended.
