Set on a quiet residential road in Abbey Wood, this extended four-bedroom semi-detached home offers practical family living with clear scope for improvement. The house benefits from a long rear garden of around 40ft, an insulated garden room, and off-street parking for two cars — rare for the area. Transport links are a strong plus: Abbey Wood (Elizabeth Line/Thameslink) and Plumstead stations are within easy reach, supporting fast commutes into central London.
Internally the layout delivers a large open-plan living/dining area, a fitted kitchen and four bedrooms served by a single upstairs family bathroom. The property has double glazing and gas central heating; broadband speeds and mobile signal are both good. The total internal area is approximately 1,009 sq ft, and the freehold tenure removes ground-rent or leasehold complexity.
Buyers should note this is a small-plot, mid-20th-century house with a dated exterior and potential asbestos risk indicated in the description — professional inspection is advised. The local area scores high for deprivation and records above-average crime; nearby schools include several highly rated primaries, making the property suitable for families seeking commuter convenience who are willing to invest in updating and improving the home.
This house will particularly appeal to families or investors seeking a well-located property with immediate rental or refurbishment potential. With its sizable garden, parking and crossrail access, thoughtful updating could significantly increase long-term value.
