Set on Barset Road, this freehold mid-terrace offers 917 sq ft across three double bedrooms — a rare, chain-free chance to buy in SE15 for £575,000. Light-filled rooms and a private garden give immediate family appeal, while private off-street parking is an uncommon local bonus.
The house is an ex-local authority property built c.1967–75 and is structurally straightforward but needs updating throughout. The boiler/heating is on a community mains gas scheme, glazing is double but age unknown, and walls are cavity with assumed no insulation — replacing or upgrading services and insulation would improve comfort and running costs. Energy rating is D and the property sits in Council Tax Band C.
Location is a genuine strength: next to Peckham Rye Park, excellent transport links, fast broadband and strong local schools including several Ofsted-graded Good or Outstanding options. The area is an established renting-families neighbourhood within an inner-city cosmopolitan setting; it also records high deprivation indices, which is relevant for long-term rental demand and resale. Overall, this is a practical refurbishment project for a family or investor looking to add value in a well-connected part of London.
