A once exquisite Victorian three bed family home (yes we appreciate its not a proper three bed, but can easily be... Sorry!) made into a two bed (only to affordably add an internal bathroom many moons ago - without much consideration for saleability), and now in need of some tlc to bring it back to its former glory.

Just 250 metres from Hither Green Station, the house is perfectly positioned for convenient living on 'the posh side' of Hither Green providing swift access to London Bridge (in only 10 minutes)!

Why should you buy me?

This charming house has a South-West facing garden and huge potential with many of the neighbouring houses having loft or rear extended.

Modernised and extended houses in this style are selling for between £800,000-£1,000,000 on Leahurst and neighbouring streets, making it the ideal opportunity to stamp your own mark.

The house has been owned by the same family since the 1st and 2nd World Wars, and most recently inherited by a single gent who has sadly passed away, and therefore the property is now being sold by his extended family with probate granted and chain free.

The layout downstairs has been opened up to make a spacious lounge dining area, with a 1980s kitchen at the rear. As you can see, not much has been renewed for a fair while, however the boiler was 7-8 years ago.

The first floor accommodates two generous double bedrooms, both with original chimney breasts should the new owners wish to restore fireplaces, and being Victorian, the house would not have originally included an internal bathroom - which explains why the bathroom is such a good size.

The garden does in fact still have the outside toilet... Which (believe it or not) was initially preferred as an alternative to internal bathrooms, before it became the norm!

If the new owners would be prepared to reconfigure the layout, many who own similar houses along the street either choose to retain a smaller third room at the back, and make a much narrower bathroom to the side, or extend into the loft to make a third double.

Neighbours on either side have quirky extensions which would certainly be possible here too. Loft extended with three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a sensibly sized rear extension tends to be the preferred choice.

Leahurst Road is one of Hither Green's most sought-after streets, which (as an area) is often cited as an appreciation hotspot.

It has a genuine community feel and excellent amenities, including super local shops at the crossing of Staplehurst Road offering all essentials, and The Station pub - known for its amazing food and friendly staff.

Hither Green Station, just a 250 metres round the corner, offers frequent direct trains into the city, including a quick 10-minute journey to London Bridge and beyond, making this location perfect for commuters.

Additionally, for nice walks, the picturesque Manor House Gardens is just a 550-metre stroll door to gate - featuring a serene central lake, a spacious play area, vibrant café, tennis courts, and hosts regular community events for all ages.

Parking is convenient and secure with a residents' permit, enforced only for an hour (11:00-12:00) Monday-Friday to deter commuter parking, ensuring easy access for residents and visitors.
