A well-presented two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offering 782 sqft of recently refreshed living space in Erith (DA8). The house has been renovated with a modern galley kitchen, updated electrics and a newly fitted boiler, making it ready to move into while retaining period character such as a chimney breast and fireplaces. The rear garden is a suntrap, neatly landscaped and large enough for family use with potential to extend at the rear (STPP) to create extra living space.
This home suits first-time buyers or small families seeking a manageable, characterful property close to parks, schools and local shops. Barnehurst and Erith stations are within an easy walk and buses run to nearby Bexleyheath and shopping centres, giving good links into central London and the Elizabeth line via Abbey Wood. Crime is very low and utilities/communications are strong (fast broadband, excellent mobile signal).
Practical points to note: the plot is modest with a small front forecourt and on-street parking (front could be converted to off-street parking subject to approval). The house is solid-brick construction typical of the period and external wall insulation is not evident. While the interior has modern fixtures and double glazing, further updating or insulation work could improve energy efficiency and comfort long term. Nearby schools include several rated Good or Outstanding, though one local secondary has an Inadequate rating.
Overall this is a compact, comfortable period home offered freehold with straightforward running costs (affordable council tax Band C). It presents a sensible purchase for buyers wanting a move-in-ready property with clear potential to extend or personalise over time.
