Set on a quiet, desirable road near Abbey Wood's Elizabeth Line and Lesnes Abbey, this three-bedroom semi offers solid family accommodation and clear potential. The house keeps period charm—bay window, parquet flooring and a fireplace—while providing practical features such as a garage, driveway and a decent rear garden. With 958 sq ft across multiple storeys, rooms are comfortably proportioned for family life.
The property needs renovation throughout, giving buyers a chance to modernise layouts, kitchens and bathrooms. There is potential to extend STPP for those seeking extra space or to increase value. Construction dates from the 1930s mean traditional cavity walls without added insulation are likely; the home has double glazing of unknown age and a gas boiler with radiators.
Practical considerations are factual: there is a single family bathroom, some refurbishment is required, and the area records above-average crime levels. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, local schools include several rated Good, and public transport links — notably the Elizabeth Line — make commutes straightforward. Council tax is moderate and the freehold tenure suits long-term owners.
This house will appeal to families and buyers who want to add value by upgrading heating, insulation and finishes, or create extra space via an extension (STPP). If you want a well-located home to personalise rather than a turnkey property, this presents a clear opportunity in a sought-after part of SE2.
