Higher local crime and wider area deprivation — consider location
Set on a residential street in Plumstead, this freehold mid-terrace offers two double bedrooms, a fitted bathroom and a west-facing garden — a practical first purchase with period character and modern finishes. Oak parquet flooring, high ceilings, cornices and a feature wood burner give the living space charm, while double glazing and gas central heating provide day-to-day comfort.
At about 709 sq ft, the layout suits a first-time buyer or couple seeking usable space rather than a large family home. The boarded loft is floored for storage but not shown as converted; the small rear plot benefits from afternoon and evening sun. Construction dates place the house in the 1930–1949 era, with solid brick walls and no known cavity insulation, so buyers should consider potential improvement works to upgrade thermal performance.
Location is a strong practical selling point: quick links via Plumstead rail, the DLR and Elizabeth line at Woolwich, plus easy road access to the A2. Local primary schools include high-performing options nearby, and shops, bus routes and green spaces such as Shrewsbury Park are within easy reach. Council tax is described as affordable and the property is freehold, simplifying ownership for owner-occupiers.
Be upfront that the area shows higher crime statistics and wider local deprivation indicators; purchasers should factor this into their decision. The house is presented in good decorative order, but buyers seeking a long-term home may want to budget for insulation improvements, potential loft conversion costs (subject to permissions), and routine maintenance typical of older solid-brick Victorian-built homes.
