Set on a peaceful Bexley street, this three-bedroom 1930s semi offers a rare chain-free opportunity for families or investors. The house has been well cared for but is dated, so it suits buyers wanting to modernise to their own style. A bright living room, separate dining room and practical kitchen provide a solid, traditional layout.
The property sits on a decent plot with a generous rear garden and side space, giving clear scope to extend to the side and rear (subject to planning permission). Off-street parking and a tidy front garden add everyday convenience. Local transport links, fast broadband and excellent nearby schools — including two outstanding secondaries — make this a strong location for families and commuters.
Practical issues are straightforward and should be factored into any offer: the house needs renovation throughout, the external walls are original solid brick (assumed uninsulated) and there is a single family bathroom for three bedrooms. Council tax is moderate and the home is gas-heated with a boiler and radiators; double glazing has been installed since 2002.
Overall, this freehold, average-sized home is a sensible project with clear upside — both from cosmetic improvement and potential extensions (STPP). Buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in home should note the renovation requirement; those looking to add value will find a desirable plot and strong local amenities to support future resale or rental value.
