Large rear garden (substantial size) with scope for subdivision

This substantial Victorian semi on Barry Road offers clear flexibility for families or investors. Currently arranged as two self‑contained flats, the house delivers four double bedrooms, two kitchens, two bathrooms and three reception rooms across generous floorplates — giving an owner the choice to retain rental income or restore a spacious single-family home.
Period features and tall ceilings give strong kerb appeal, while the large rear garden (documented as very large) and off‑street parking for two cars are rare finds in SE22. There is scope to extend at the rear and into the loft (subject to planning), so a purchaser can add significant living space and value.
Honest drawbacks: the property needs modernisation and reconfiguration work to become a unified five-bedroom family house; internal insulation is likely absent in the solid brick walls; council tax is above average. The split-flat layout may require investment to combine the units and modernise kitchens and bathrooms.
For commuters with young families, this location is strong — excellent access to parks, Lordship Lane amenities and good schools nearby. Investors will appreciate the existing two-flat setup and large garden potential; owner-occupiers gain a roomy, characterful shell to tailor to contemporary family living.
