Summary - 22 Watermens Square, High Street SE20 7EL
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Chain-free two-bed near stations, garden and strong school options.
Grade II listed Gothic Revival facade and high ceilings
A rare Grade II-listed Almshouse-style home set in historic Watermans Square, this two-bedroom end-of-terrace offers genuine scope to create a characterful family home. The property retains striking Gothic Revival stonework, high ceilings and large period windows that give rooms a generous feel. With two receptions and a decent private plot plus communal grounds, there’s useful living and outdoor space for family life.
The house is offered chain free and freehold, positioned a short walk from Penge East and Penge West stations and close to a wide range of shops, cafes and well-regarded schools. Practical details include mains gas heating (boiler and radiators), an EPC rating of D, council tax at a moderate level and a below-average service charge of £150 for communal maintenance.
Important: the property requires full renovation and modernisation and its Grade II listing means works will be restricted and require listed-building consent. The solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, and the layout and finishes will need updating to modern standards. Buyers should factor in renovation costs, specialist conservation work and listed-property permissions when planning improvements.
For families seeking a distinctive, characterful home in a well-connected neighbourhood, this house is a blank canvas with historic charm and a private garden. For buyers prepared to manage listed-building processes and renovation, it offers strong potential to increase comfort and value while preserving rare period detail.
