Well-located family house near station and top-rated schools.
Victorian semi-detached with period features and two reception rooms
Set in sought-after Shortlands, this Victorian semi-detached home offers practical family living with strong transport and school links. The house has two spacious reception rooms, a kitchen with shaker-style units and two double bedrooms plus a versatile third room accessed via a sliding door — useful as a bedroom, study or walk-in wardrobe. A small, mainly lawned garden and patio provide outdoor space close to the house.
The property is freehold and retains period character such as a fireplace and ceiling mouldings, making it appealing to buyers who value traditional features. Shortlands station is just 330 yards away with direct services into central London, and excellent local schools include Harris Primary Academy Shortlands and Valley Primary School, both within easy reach.
Practical considerations: the house was built before 1900 with solid brick walls likely lacking cavity insulation, and the EPC is E, so buyers should expect potential energy-efficiency improvements. There is a medium flood risk and local crime levels are very high; these are important factors for insurance, security and long-term running costs. Overall this is a characterful, well-located home with scope for sympathetic updating and improvement.
