Description

Situated discreetly behind the established retail and residential parade on Westcombe Hill, this unusual freehold former workshop presents a rare opportunity to acquire a converted residential unit in a highly desirable South East London location. Vacant and offering significant scope for refurbishment and improvement, the property is likely to appeal to investors, developers, owner-occupiers and buyers seeking a distinctive project with clear potential to add value.

The accommodation is arranged with an entrance porch leading into a flexible ground floor layout currently configured to provide a bathroom, kitchen, reception room and two to three bedrooms, all benefitting from natural skylights which create a bright and characterful feel throughout. In addition, the property offers a substantial usable loft space on the first floor, providing further versatility subject to any necessary consents and requirements. Some utilities require connection, allowing purchasers the opportunity to complete and enhance the property to their own specification.

Westcombe Hill is well positioned for access to the popular amenities of Blackheath and Greenwich, with a wide selection of cafes, restaurants, shops and green open spaces nearby. Excellent transport connections are available via Westcombe Park and Blackheath stations, offering convenient links into Canary Wharf, London Bridge and the City, helping support continued demand from both owner-occupiers and the rental market.
