Description

The accommodation is described as requiring complete internal refurbishment, with scope to modernise and potentially rework the existing layout, subject to any necessary consents. The property also has driveway parking and an enclosed rear garden with a swimming or plunge pool.
Albany Park station is stated to be approximately 400 metres away, with Sidcup station also accessible. The A2 and A20 provide road connections towards London, Kent and the wider network.

The sale is by online auction, with a six-week completion period. A buyer's charge of £1,650 including VAT is payable in addition to the purchase price, and other fees may apply under the legal pack.

Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At a guide price of £500,000, this five-bedroom semi-detached house is priced at about £303/sq ft, well below the local average of £479/sq ft — a strong acquisition point for a substantial renovation. The partly stripped kitchen, dated finishes and scope to refresh the photographed living spaces give a buyer a clear canvas to create a modern family home. The two photographed bathrooms appear serviceable, and the visible roof and front elevation look generally intact. As this is an auction, bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
The £25,000–£45,000 renovation range points to a meaningful programme rather than a cosmetic refresh, particularly with the kitchen to reinstate and the garden and weathered pool structure to assess. The generous accommodation, driveway and garden offer plenty to work with, with Albany Park station nearby.
Key opportunities
- Use the generous five-bedroom accommodation and flexible existing layout to shape a modern family home, subject to any necessary consents.
- Reinstate the partly stripped kitchen and update dated finishes across the photographed living spaces and bedrooms.
- Improve the enclosed garden and assess how best to use the raised pool and surrounding structures.
Key risks
- The partly stripped kitchen, dated finishes and garden/pool work make this a substantial programme; the £25,000–£45,000 works range needs careful budgeting and scheduling rather than a cosmetic-refresh allowance.
