Chain-free four-bedroom Victorian terrace with garden and parking — huge renovation potential.
Extremely large 3,175 sqft Victorian mid-terrace, freehold and chain free
Four bedrooms but only one four-piece bathroom — potential need for extra facilities
Private long garden and off-street parking; decent plot for London
Requires general modernisation and energy-efficiency improvements
Solid brick walls likely uninsulated; glazing age unknown
EPC rating D; Council Tax Band D (moderate)
Very low flood risk, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal
Located for commuters with good local schools and green space
Set on Dowanhill Road in SE6, this substantial four-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offers abundant living space across multiple stories and a long private garden. The freehold, chain-free layout includes off-street parking and period features such as bay windows and original cornicing — attractive to families or buyers seeking a character home with expansion potential.
The house requires full modernisation: updating the kitchen and bathroom, general decoration, and likely energy-efficiency improvements (solid brick walls assumed uninsulated, EPC rated D). There is only one bathroom for four bedrooms, so buyers should budget for an additional shower room or reconfiguration. Double glazing is present but the installation date is unknown.
Practical advantages include mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, very low flood risk, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Local amenities suit commuters and young families — good primary schools nearby, parks, and rail links to Central London in around 10–15 minutes from local stations.
This property suits a family wanting to personalise a large period home, a buyer planning a sympathetic renovation to increase value, or an investor prepared to upgrade facilities. Be realistic about renovation costs and timing; the size and freehold tenure make it a strong long-term prospect once modernised.
