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

We loved moving here to raise our new family, we moved in with a 6 month year old and added another shortly after. They both now attend Kilmorie, a primary school we love with a great community. It's a short walk to local parks such as Mayow, and to Forest Hill station to commute to work and to connect with central London. The area feels safe and friendly and we enjoy the close proximity to local restaurants like Pizzarte or a coffee from No. 41.

The road is quiet with windows open in the summer and the house is well insulated in the winter. As a new build we’ve never had any issues with damp, draughts or rodents.
We still love the school, the amenities and the area hence why we are looking to remain in the area.
