This spacious five-bedroom Victorian semi-detached house spreads over three floors and offers family-sized living in SE8. The property combines original period features with a sleek, skylit modern kitchen and two en-suite shower rooms, making morning routines straightforward for larger households. At around 1,741 sq ft with a large private garden, there is room to relax, entertain and adapt spaces for home working.
Practical details include double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas boiler and radiators, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for remote working and streaming. The house is freehold and set close to Surrey Quays Station, bus links, the Thames and green spaces including Deptford Park and Southwark Park, while a cluster of shops, cafes and amenities sit on Lower Road.
Known drawbacks are factual and important: the property sits in a ward with above-average crime and local area deprivation indicators, and the solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, so energy efficiency and heating costs may benefit from upgrading. The glazing age is unknown and the house, built before 1900, may need sympathetic maintenance or refurbishment in places.
This house will suit a family seeking generous space, outdoor living and easy transport links, or a buyer wanting a character home with potential to improve thermal performance and add value. Viewing will best show the scale, ceiling heights and garden that make this a rare larger home in Rotherhithe.
