A rare self-build opportunity on a larger-than-average plot in sought-after Bexley, already cleared with full planning permission (Ref: 24/02492/FUL). The proposed design is contemporary and light-filled, with expansive glazing, a central atrium and mezzanine that create dramatic, flexible family living spaces. High ceilings and a generous 2,164 sq ft footprint suit growing families who want an architect-designed home rather than a typical renovation.
Practical benefits include freehold tenure, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime. The property sits close to several highly rated primary and secondary schools, including two grammar options, and local amenities such as parks, leisure and riverside access.
Important considerations: the site lies in a high flood-risk area — any new build or landscape work must account for mitigation measures and insurance implications. The existing structure dates from the 1930s–40s with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation; the project will therefore need comprehensive thermal upgrades and modern services despite the granted planning permission.
This sale will suit a family or buyer experienced in project management or self-builds who values design-led living and has budgeted for build costs, flood resilience measures and insulation upgrades. With planning permission in place, the purchaser can move directly into detailed construction and specification choices to realise a distinctive detached home.
