A well-presented three-bedroom period semi in SE20, offering 948 sq.ft of comfortable family living close to excellent transport links. The front reception with a bay window and feature fireplace gives character, while the full-width kitchen/diner opens directly onto a paved courtyard garden with a useful outbuilding/garden room — good for storage, home office or hobby space.
The property is freehold, gas-central heated with double glazing, and largely updated throughout; interiors are modern and move-in ready for many buyers. Local schools rated Good–Outstanding make this a convenient choice for families, and Kent House, Clock House and nearby Tramlink offer fast connections across South London.
Notable practical points: the house sits on a relatively small plot, has a single shower room on the first floor, and the solid brick walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation. Double glazing installation date is unknown, and the area records higher-than-average local crime — these are important factors for budgeting further improvement and security measures. Council tax is moderate and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
Overall, this property suits buyers seeking a period home with modern interiors and close transport and schooling — with some straightforward energy-efficiency and security considerations to address.
