This two-bedroom end-of-terrace, built in the 1970s, offers practical space across 846 sq ft with a private rear garden and driveway. The layout includes a generous lounge, modern-feeling kitchen with good storage, a useful downstairs WC, upstairs family bathroom plus separate toilet — sensible day-to-day living for first-time buyers or sharers.
The property sits within popular school catchments and benefits from excellent transport links: Grove Park station nearby with frequent services into central London and regular buses to Lewisham and Bromley. The area provides local shops, leisure facilities and green spaces such as Chinbrook Meadows and Grove Park Nature Reserve.
Notable positives are the freehold tenure, double glazing, mains gas central heating, and a versatile garden for outdoor living. At the same time, the house shows signs of age: the kitchen, some internal finishes and external elements require updating. The plot is relatively small and the build is a typical 1970s style that may not suit buyers seeking period character.
Buyers should also be aware the wider area has higher crime levels and pockets of deprivation; these factors may influence resale and rental demand. For investors, the property’s size, transport connections and local rental market make it a viable buy-to-let with scope to add value through targeted refurbishment.
