This extended four-bedroom home on Rochester Way offers practical family living with clear potential. The house combines spacious reception and dining areas with a contemporary kitchen that opens onto a private rear garden — a useful layout for everyday family life and informal entertaining. A detached summer house currently used as a fourth bedroom adds flexibility for a home office, studio or potential rental unit (subject to any necessary consents).
The property sits on a decent plot with a wide frontage and off-street parking. Modern comforts include mains gas central heating with a boiler and double glazing fitted after 2002. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, which supports remote working and streaming without compromise.
Buyers should be aware of several material considerations. The local area shows high deprivation and above-average crime rates, which may affect resale and insurance costs. The house is a solid-brick 1930s–1940s build and walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy-efficiency upgrades are likely needed. Creating a separate self-contained unit in the summer house would require the appropriate permissions.
For families seeking space close to Eltham High Street and a cluster of well-rated schools, this home offers a strong, adaptable blank canvas. It will suit purchasers prepared to invest modestly in insulation and cosmetic updating to unlock longer-term value.
