A generous former public house on an exceptional inner-urban plot of about 0.254 acres (1,028 sq m / 11,060 sq ft). The existing two-storey building and single-storey rear extension occupy only a modest footprint, leaving a large garden/yard and garage—rare space for Woolwich which offers clear scope for redevelopment, conversion to residential, or continued commercial use, subject to planning and statutory consents.
Positioned at the junction of Timbercroft Lane and Mountbatten Close, the site sits in a predominantly residential area within walking distance of Plumstead station and approximately one mile from Woolwich Elizabeth Line. The location benefits from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and everyday amenities close by, supporting either community-focused operators or residential redevelopment aimed at families and commuters.
The building appears to be of traditional masonry with a pitched slate roof and part-basement; internal layout provides reception spaces, three bedrooms and ancillary areas. The property will suit an operator or developer comfortable with a substantial project: the building will require modernization and adaptation for many alternative uses, and any change of use or redevelopment will need the appropriate permissions.
Important practical points: tenure details are not provided and should be verified; planning and statutory consents will be required for conversion or redevelopment. Flood risk is recorded as none, and the plot’s size is a primary value driver for investors or owner-occupiers seeking a sizeable garden and rebuild potential within London.
