Description

Nestled on one of Bexleyheath's distinguished residential streets, this detached home offers a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with substantial renovation potential. Positioned on a generous plot, the house has been cherished as a family home for many years, but it now awaits a new owner who can envision its future. Inside, the layout features two reception rooms, a separate kitchen, three bedrooms, and a family bathroom, alongside an integral garage and driveway. The recently installed combination boiler adds assurance regarding future maintenance needs. While the interiors would benefit from updates to meet contemporary preferences, this provides an excellent canvas for transformation into a personalized living space. The true appeal of this property lies in its extensive grounds. The possibility of adding a double-storey wraparound extension could significantly expand the existing living area. Additionally, the expansive rear garden presents various options—whether it’s enhancing outdoor entertaining spaces or considering development possibilities such as an annex or granny flat. The secondary driveway on the left side could also be reimagined to improve parking accessibility and overall aesthetic appeal. One of the standout features is the garden itself, which offers both privacy and versatility. With scenic woods and parkland directly behind the property, there’s ample opportunity to create an inviting landscape tailored for relaxation or recreation—a rare find so close to central amenities. Convenience is key here; Barnehurst railway station is just a short distance away, providing direct trains to both London Charing Cross and Cannon Street. Abbey Wood and the Elizabeth Line are also easily accessible for swift connections throughout London. Daily necessities are within reach at local shops in Barnehurst; for more extensive shopping and dining options, Bexleyheath town centre is nearby. Families will appreciate the proximity to reputable schools like Bexley Grammar School and Fairford Academy. This property offers significant potential for those with vision—whether you're aiming to create your dream home or pursue an investment project in a highly sought-after location. With careful planning and creativity, it could be transformed into one of Bexleyheath's most noteworthy residences.
