Here is what the owner had to say about the property:

- I really love the large living room and dining area. It's a great space for entertaining. The garden is a great size and easy to share with downstairs neighbour. The size of the kitchen is great for the size of flat. Hurstbourne Road is very friendly and I got to know local neighbours who were very helpful and happy to help one another. The street is very quiet, despite being close to Stanstead Road. The location is fantastic - close to lots of green spaces (Mayow Park, Blythe Hill), with fantastic pubs locally too such as Blythe Hill Tavern, often voted in top pubs of London and my favourite still. Great transport links via Catford or Forest Hill with a bus stop at the end of the road.
