Guide Price £400,000 - £425,000. HI Residential is delighted to present this expansive four bedroom Victorian semi detached residence, perfectly positioned just moments from the vibrant shops of Herbert Road and within easy walking distance of Woolwich's rail links, including the Elizabeth Line, DLR, and National Rail services.
Spanning over two floors, the property is currently configured as two self contained flats: a generous two bedroom flat on the ground floor, complete with a reception room, kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom; and a spacious one bedroom flat on the first floor, arranged with its own reception, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. Although this layout was established over 20 years ago, it lacks formal planning consent, making this a compelling renovation project or development opportunity—perfect for buyers or investors looking to explore conversion possibilities, subject to necessary permissions.
Throughout, the accommodation awaits complete modernisation, offering a clean slate to reimagine each space. The property also benefits from a private rear garden—ideal for outdoor lounging or future landscaping.
This substantial Victorian gem offers more than just internal space; it's set amid an area rich in heritage and green charm. Herbert Road features handsome late–Victorian terraces constructed in traditional yellow stock brick, many of which retain decorative details such as sash windows, slate roofs, and ornate corbels.
It lies at the northern slopes of Shooters Hill—one of London's highest elevations—close to significant landmarks like the Royal Herbert Hospital (now the Royal Herbert Pavilions), originally built in 1865 to serve Crimean War veterans under Florence Nightingale's influence
Families will appreciate the proximity to several well regarded schools: Eglinton Primary (just 118 yards away, currently rated “Requires Improvement”), Notre Dame Catholic Primary (a “Good” school on Herbert Road), Plumcroft Primary (“Good”), Nightingale Primary (“Good”), and St Margaret's C of E Primary (“Good”). Secondary and further education options include the Outstanding-rated Ark Greenwich Free School and the highly respected Shooters Hill Sixth Form College, housed in buildings dating back to the former Woolwich County School site of 1928–35
Transport connections couldn't be more convenient. Woolwich Arsenal station is within walking distance, offering rapid services across the Elizabeth Line into the City and West End, connections to the DLR, and Southeastern National Rail services. Plumstead station also sits nearby, expanding rail flexibility. Bus routes such as the 244, 386, 89, 122, 161, B16, and N89 run close by, ensuring smooth local travel and superb access to Canary Wharf, Greenwich, Eltham, and beyond .
Adjacent green spaces enrich the area's appeal: Woolwich Common stretches up the northern slope of Shooters Hill and connects directly to Oxleas Wood, Shrewsbury Park, and Eaglesfield Park—ancient woodland, parkland, and walking trails seamlessly extending from the doorstep
Offered with no onward chain and exclusively suitable for cash buyers, this property represents a rare opportunity. Whether you're an investor seeking a renovation project, a developer eyeing planning permission, or a homeowner intent on crafting a bespoke family residence, this Victorian semi offers size, scope, and scope to create a truly bespoke home in an area steeped in history, education, greenery, and connectivity.
