Summary - 22 MARTIN BOWES ROAD LONDON SE9 1LQ
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Characterful three-bed cottage with loft conversion and sunny west garden.
Three bedrooms with loft conversion, three floors of living space
Set on the historic Progress Estate, this three-bedroom, mid-terrace cottage blends original early-20th-century character with practical modern updates. The loft conversion adds valuable living space across three floors while a recently fitted kitchen offers contemporary convenience and garden access. The west-facing garden brings afternoon sun and a private outdoor space rare for terrace properties.
The house will suit a growing family seeking character and good local schools — several rated Good or Outstanding are within easy reach. Transport links are strong: Eltham station and frequent buses provide direct routes into Central London and quick connections to Woolwich Arsenal and the Elizabeth Line.
Buyers should note this is a solid-brick, early-20th-century property with assumed limited wall insulation; period homes typically need ongoing maintenance and sympathetic upgrades. There is one bathroom and a small plot size, so space is sensible rather than generous. Freehold tenure and double glazing (post-2002) are practical positives.
Overall, this cottage offers a mix of historic charm, useful modernisation and good transport and school catchment — a characterful family home with scope for energy upgrades and cosmetic improvement to suit long-term plans.
