Description
157 Godstow Road, Abbey Wood SE2 9AX - JS1147
Freehold | 2 Double Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom | 824 sq ft | Off-Street Parking | No Chain
Where else in London can you buy a freehold house for £300,000? Not a flat. Not a leasehold. A real home — with your own front door, garden and parking just 20 minutes from Central London via the Elizabeth Line at Abbey Wood.
Set on a quiet stretch of Godstow Road, this two-bedroom freehold house has been refreshed, feels calm, clean and ready for it's next chapter. There’s new carpet throughout, a modernised bathroom, and a practical kitchen with soft-close drawers, new worktops and original serving hatch connecting spaces.
The layout is simple: entrance hall into the living room, kitchen at the rear opening onto a 40 ft north-facing garden, and upstairs two double bedrooms.
The south facing main bedroom is ready for a fresh coat of paint or wallpaper so you can make it your own. Natural light filters through double-glazed windows at both ends, and there’s off-street parking for one car.
Behind the clean presentation, the essentials are straightforward. This home is ready for its next heating system and electrical update, reflected in the price and easy to plan thanks to existing conduit routes.
A property 90% finished — you control the last 10%.
Location & Lifestyle
The garden is a genuine feature: around 40 feet long, 20 feet wide and partly hard-standing for low-maintenance use and partly ready for turf or Astro and perfect for young children or adults enjoying the summer sun.
Local life revolves around Southmere Park (five-minute walk) — lakeside walks, cafés and new community spaces as part of the Thamesmead regeneration. Lidl and Sainsbury’s are nearby, with gyms, nurseries and schools within easy reach.
Commuting: Abbey Wood station → Central London in ≈ 20 minutes (Elizabeth Line).
Connectivity: High-speed broadband available (check postcode for fibre options).
