Farley Road, London, SE6

Full Description

Tucked away on a quiet residential road in Hither Green, this beautifully refurbished two-bedroom apartment offers 655 sq ft of well-proportioned living space, combining Victorian character with a high-quality modern finish. Purchased in 2023 as a personal renovation project, the apartment was comprehensively refurbished by its owner, an MRICS Chartered Surveyor, with the focus on creating a comfortable, well-built home rather than a cosmetic refurbishment. The result is a genuinely turn-key property with excellent attention to detail throughout. The standout feature is the setting. The apartment backs directly onto Mountsfield Park, with views across the greenery from the rear of the property. Whether it's a morning coffee, evening drink or a run through the park, the combination of a quiet residential setting and immediate access to open space is hard to replicate in this part of London. Inside, large double-glazed UPVC sash windows bring plenty of natural light into the apartment, with east- and west-facing aspects creating a bright feel throughout. The open-plan living space is finished with a contemporary handleless Howdens kitchen, integrated AEG appliances and an integrated media wall, while smart lighting and automated blinds add a discreet touch of technology.

The park. Having Mountsfield Park directly behind the flat has been one of my favourite things about living here. I regularly go for a run there, and it's a great place to have on your doorstep. What's your favourite thing about the flat? The media wall and lighting make the living room a great place to relax, particularly for films, box sets and football. I also hadn't lived with smart-home technology before this flat and now I wouldn't want to go back to ordinary light switches. Why are you selling? I'm looking to move closer to family in Brighton as my parents get older, and my work is taking me away from London more often. I'm therefore less reliant on the excellent Hither Green connections than I was when I bought the property. What are the average bills? Gas, electricity and water are approximately £120 per month combined.
