Victorian character, large private garden and long lease—family-ready with some upgrade potential.
Private ground-floor entrance for direct access and privacy
This bright two-bedroom maisonette on Barry Road combines Victorian character with a recent contemporary renovation. A private entrance leads into well-planned living space that benefits from an extended open-plan kitchen, skylight and integrated appliances — ideal for family cooking and relaxed entertaining. The property extends to about 880 sq ft and includes a very large private landscaped garden with side access, decking and established planting.
Practical details suit long-term ownership: share of freehold with a 999-year lease, mains gas heating via boiler and radiators, fast broadband and an EPC rating of C. The layout includes two double bedrooms (one with built-in storage), a family bathroom refurbished in 2022 and useful bespoke hallway storage and shelving. The home was substantially upgraded in recent years (kitchen extension 2020, carpeting 2023), so much of the work has already been done.
Notable constraints are factual and important for buyers: there is a single bathroom for the flat, the building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no insulation (may require upgrading for thermal efficiency), and the neighbourhood records average crime levels. Service charge arrangements are ad hoc rather than fixed. Council Tax sits at Band C.
This property will suit families or buyers seeking a low-maintenance move-in with outdoor space in SE22, and those who value period detail paired with contemporary living. It’s particularly compelling for buyers prioritising a large private garden and long lease security, but buyers seeking fully insulated walls or multiple bathrooms should factor potential improvement costs into their decision.
