Shrewsbury Lane, Shooters Hill

GUIDE PRICE £900,000 TO £940,000.
Perched proudly near the very top of Shooters Hill, this substantial semi-detached home on Shrewsbury Lane offers the kind of space, views and garden that large families and upsizers dream about. With generous rooms, five bedrooms and an extraordinary plot of approximately 0.22 of an acre, this is a home that feels wonderfully expansive both inside and out.
The welcoming entrance hall sets the tone for the space that follows. To the front is a superb living room, beautifully proportioned with high ceilings and a striking bay window that fills the room with natural light. To the rear, the home really begins to open up, with an excellent size dining room that flows seamlessly into a modern kitchen breakfast room fitted with contemporary units. Both spaces overlook and lead directly out to the remarkable rear garden, making them ideal for family life, entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful outlook. A handy ground floor cloakroom/WC completes this level.
Stairs from the hallway lead to the first floor where you will find three generously sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, stretching to an incredible 17'9 in length, while even the smallest bedroom is a comfortable 10'9 x 8', ensuring plenty of space for family or guests. The family bathroom is also located on this floor.
Another flight of stairs leads to the second floor where two further bedrooms await. One of these enjoys its own en-suite shower room/WC and a delightful Juliette balcony. From here the views are nothing short of breath taking, with far-reaching, almost panoramic vistas across the surrounding area and towards the iconic London skyline. Watching the New Year’s fireworks or summer sunsets from this vantage point is a truly special experience.
Outside, the garden is a genuine highlight. Extending to approximately 196' in length and around 56' at its widest point, it is wonderfully established with mature shrubs, trees and lawned areas providing a sense of space that is rarely found locally. Adding to its character is a fully intact concrete World War II air raid shelter, a fascinating historical feature. At the far end sits a detached garage which, if desired, can access a shared rear service road. The garage is perfectly suited to a variety of uses, whether as a workshop, studio or an excellent work-from-home space.
Shrewsbury Lane sits almost at the apex of Shooters Hill, one of South East London’s most sought-after elevated locations. Being at the top of the hill means you are surrounded by wonderful green open spaces including Oxleas Woods, the 18th century folly of Severndroog Castle, Eaglesfield Green Flag Park and Shrewsbury Park. For sports enthusiasts there is also easy access to Shooters Hill Golf Club and Shooters Hill Lawn Tennis Club.
Families are well served by two highly regarded local primary schools, Plumcroft and Christ Church. Transport connections are convenient too, with the 244 bus from Shrewsbury Lane providing direct access down to Woolwich town centre. Here you will find a wide range of high street shops, major supermarkets and excellent transport links including Woolwich Arsenal rail and DLR stations, as well as the Elizabeth Line offering fast and frequent services to Canary Wharf, the City, the West End and Heathrow Airport.
Homes with this much space, character, land and spectacular views are incredibly rare in the local area, making this a truly exciting opportunity for the next family to enjoy.
