Coming to the market for the first time in 60 years, this 1930s Feakes & Richards semi-detached home on Ashbourne Avenue offers generous proportions and classic character. Set on a quiet, popular residential road, the house is well placed for Bexleyheath station and Abbey Wood (Elizabeth Line), making it a practical choice for commuters and families.
The property includes a through lounge, practical kitchen with separate utility area, three good-sized bedrooms and a single family bathroom. A roomy rear garden and off-street driveway (plus garage access) give useful outdoor and parking space. There is clear potential to extend (subject to planning permission) to increase living space and value.
Important to note: the house needs renovation and cosmetic updating throughout to unlock its full potential. The walls are cavity construction with assumed no insulation, so purchasers should factor in energy-efficiency upgrades. Council tax is above average. While several nearby schools are rated Good, a few have Requires Improvement ratings — check catchments if school quality is a priority.
Chain-free sale and a decent plot size make this a strong proposition for first-time buyers, families wanting longer-term space, or investors seeking a refurbishment project in a very low-crime, well-connected suburb. Early viewing is recommended to assess scope and possibilities.
