Description

This well-proportioned three-bedroom semi-detached home, constructed in the 1930s, offers a variety of features and potential for renovation. Nestled in a tranquil cul-de-sac, it is conveniently located just a short stroll from local shops, including a Lidl branch on Burnt Ash Lane, enhancing accessibility to everyday essentials. Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious hallway leading to two airy reception rooms that can be seamlessly connected via bi-fold doors, allowing for an open flow between spaces. The high-gloss kitchen is equipped with modern conveniences and benefits from ample natural light thanks to its dual aspect windows. A practical study/utility room adds versatility to the layout, providing space for appliances and a dedicated workspace. The first floor comprises three double bedrooms, each with its own unique character. Two of the bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes and benefit from generous proportions. The main bedroom includes an ensuite shower room, while a family bathroom serves the other bedrooms. The outdoor space is particularly noteworthy, featuring an expansive garden measuring approximately 180 feet in length. It is predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by mature trees and shrubs, offering a pleasant environment for relaxation or potential landscaping projects. A sandstone patio area enhances the outdoor living experience. Off-street parking is available as an added convenience. This property also presents clear opportunities for enhancement or expansion (subject to planning permissions), making it appealing for those looking to invest in improvements or create additional living space. With double glazing throughout and gas-fired central heating already installed, the home retains valuable modern comforts while still presenting various avenues for personal touches or upgrades. Situated within close proximity to Grove Park railway station—approximately half a mile away—this location provides vital transportation links to central London destinations including Lewisham via the DLR, as well as direct services to London Bridge and Charing Cross. This blend of accessibility with residential serenity positions this home as a compelling choice for both families and investors alike.
