Description
Offered at auction, this freehold building is arranged as two self-contained maisonettes. The vacant ground and first floor garden maisonette is described as requiring updating and provides approximately 92 sq m (992 sq ft) of accommodation, with a reception room, kitchen and cloakroom/WC on the first floor, plus three bedrooms and a bathroom/WC on the ground floor. It also has a rear garden and an EPC rating of D. The second and third floor flat is sold on a 125-year lease granted from 12 December 2016. The listing notes that rear conversion for additional accommodation may be possible, subject to the necessary consents, and that the property may be offered as a share of freehold; buyers should check the legal pack for the precise title and sale terms. Local transport links include Woolwich and Falconwood stations, with shops and other amenities in the surrounding area and further facilities in Greenwich and Central London.

Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £249,000, this is a notably low entry point against the local £/sqf benchmark, giving the vacant garden maisonette a strong value case for buyers seeking a substantial project. The photographed rooms offer scope to rework the dated finishes and kitchen, while the bay-windowed reception and rear garden give the improvement plan some character and outdoor space.
This is a heavy, multi-room programme rather than a cosmetic refresh: the kitchen has visible ceiling staining, and the photographed rooms show worn flooring and dated decoration. The garden also needs clearing and attention. The sale includes a second maisonette already sold on a long lease, so buyers should establish precisely what is included and review the legal pack. As an auction guide, bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
Key opportunities
- Rework the vacant maisonette’s dated finishes and substantially update the kitchen as part of a coherent multi-room improvement.
- Make the bay-windowed reception a characterful focal point through refreshed decoration and flooring.
- Clear and improve the rear garden, turning an overgrown outdoor space into a more usable asset.
Key risks
- A heavy, multi-room programme: worn finishes, kitchen updating and garden clearance call for a planned sequence of work and a substantial time and cash commitment, not a cosmetic refresh.
- Ceiling staining is visible in the kitchen; investigate its cause and check for any continuing moisture issue.
