Features and description
- Freehold
Please note that the seller owns the freehold to the building, which contains two leasehold flats. The sellers lease this flat back to themselves as a leasehold. The flat on the ground floor is owned by someone else. The seller is selling the leasehold of this flat plus the whole freehold. Both would need to complete on the same day. The ground floor flat is another leasehold registered against the title which is not part of this sale.
Immaculately renovated over the years, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom maisonette in Forest Hill combines contemporary interventions with its period bones. Special attention has been given to the colour palette, which cleverly uses pear green, midnight blue and soft pink to highlight the home's generous proportions. At the rear is a luscious garden, shared with only one other flat.
The Tour
Perry Rise comprises a long strip of Victorian terraced houses, all neatly set back from the road behind front gardens and a gate. The flat has its own front door, which leads directly to a set of stairs ascending to the main living spaces on the first floor.
The kitchen occupies the rear of the plan and has windows framing views of the garden below. Configured as an L-shape, the kitchen has pear green-painted walls that contrast brilliantly with its wooden-topped white cabinetry. The bathroom is also on this floor, predominantly executed with white and azure-coloured tiles and matt black fixtures. Next to the bathroom is a second set of stairs to the garden below.
The living room is at the front, illuminated by a large bay window and adjacent sash. Neat joinery in the alcoves provides plenty of book-storing space, while the brick fireplace stands as a relic of from the original Victorian building. There is also a separate study on the first floor.
The maisonette has two double bedrooms. The first is on the lower level and has a midnight blue-painted cast-iron fireplace. The main bedroom is upstairs and occupies the converted loft space. Here, skylights set in the pitch above frame uninterrupted views across south London, while herringbone parquet flooring below grounds the space. An en suite shower room is finished with playful terrazzo.
Outdoor Space
Shared with one other flat, the garden is especially generous. It stretches from the rear of the house, with well-tended flowerbeds and a spacious lawn. A decked area lies at the front and a BBQ area at the back with shingle underfoot.
The Area
Perry Rise is equidistant between Forest Hill and Sydenham and sits within easy reach of several green spaces and woodland parks, including Dulwich, Sydenham Hill Wood and Crystal Palace. Mayow Park is around five minutes away on foot and has tennis courts, a playground and the charming Brown & Green cafe.
In Forest Hill, the Horniman Museum and Gardens is a popular destination, with a child-friendly café, anthropological museum and farmers’ market every Saturday morning. Canvas & Cream on the High Street, part café and art gallery, is an excellent spot for coffee and cake, as is St David Coffee. For a casual lunch or dinner, afternoons and evenings in The Signal and Sylvan Post pubs offer great food and drinking options. Neighbourhood favourite The Pantry deli also serves excellent coffee, specialist sundries and St John pastries.
For transport, Forest Hill Station runs services to London Bridge, Canada Water, Shoreditch and Highbury & Islington. Lower Sydenham station is also nearby and offers trains to Charing Cross in 25 minutes. Penge East also has direct trains to Victoria in 20 minutes and Catford station has many services including the Thameslink to Blackfriars and Kings Cross St Pancras.
