An early 20th-century Victorian mid-terrace offering three double bedrooms and generous living space across approximately 1,272 sq ft. The house retains original features such as a bay window, fireplace and historic flooring, creating strong character and scope for a sympathetic refurbishment. With off-street parking, a rear garden and no onward chain, it’s ready for a purchaser who wants to add value and personalise a family home.
The property needs renovation throughout: plaster damage, dated kitchen and bathrooms, and general modernisation required. The walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation, so upgrading thermal performance and services should be factored into costs. Double glazing and a mains gas boiler are already in place, and broadband and mobile signals are good for modern working-from-home needs.
There is clear potential to extend subject to planning consent — loft conversion and rear extension are possible — which could significantly increase living space and value. The location suits commuters and families: several well-regarded primary and secondary schools nearby (including an Outstanding primary), local parks, shops and regular trains to central London.
Important practical notes: tenure is unknown and must be confirmed, and the house is sold chain-free. Buyers should expect a refurbishment budget and survey to assess structural and insulation works. For motivated buyers or developers, this is a rare opportunity to create a spacious, characterful family home in SE20.
