Summary - 41 ALMA GROVE LONDON SE1 5QB
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Chain-free starter home with garden near outstanding schools.
- Freehold, chain-free three-bedroom Victorian terrace
Set on a tree-lined stretch of Alma Grove in Bermondsey, this freehold terraced house offers 1,100 sq ft of period accommodation and a generous rear garden — a rare find in SE1 for a chain-free purchase. The layout includes separate kitchen, dining and reception rooms on the ground floor, with three double bedrooms and a single family bathroom upstairs. It has been a reliable rental but now presents a clear starter-home for buyers wanting to personalise a classic Victorian property.
The house retains traditional character in its brick facade, arched windows and high ceilings, while interior finishes are basic and will benefit from modernisation. Heating appears to rely on portable electric units in many rooms and walls are assumed to be solid brick with little or no insulation — buyers should factor in costs to install central heating and wall insulation for comfort and efficiency.
Practical positives include freehold ownership, chain-free sale, low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for commuting or working from home. Local life is strong: independent shops, bars, restaurants and several outstanding-rated primary schools are within easy reach, making this attractive for first-time buyers or young families.
Important points to note: the property will need upgrading in key areas (heating, insulation and general modernisation). The plot is small for a garden city buyer despite being a generous inner-city rear garden. The surrounding area shows pockets of deprivation, although the immediate neighbourhood is established with good transport links and amenities.
