Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Abbey Wood represents a valuable opportunity for buyers interested in a property with notable renovation and investment potential. Located in a growing area of South East London, it offers convenient off-street parking, a significant benefit in this bustling borough. The home's layout includes a loft conversion, providing additional space that can be further enhanced with extensions, subject to planning permission. Such possibilities can greatly increase the property's value over time. Commuters will appreciate the proximity to Abbey Wood Station (0.8 miles away), granting swift access to key destinations including Canary Wharf and Liverpool Street via the Elizabeth Line. This transport development has positively impacted the local real estate market, making Abbey Wood increasingly attractive. Surrounded by amenities like shops, schools, and parks, this residential area balances urban living with access to green spaces such as Lesnes Abbey Woods. This combination of lifestyle options makes it an appealing choice for families and investors alike. An expired planning permission for a wrap-around extension from 2022 indicates that similar improvements could be feasible upon reapplication, enhancing living space while potentially increasing the home's resale value. Overall, this property presents a flexible living arrangement with ample opportunities for improvement in an area poised for growth.
