You said you were looking for a property with potential… well here it is!

Built in 1917, this beautiful end of terraced home retains much of its original charm, having been owned by the same family for 42 years.

One of the home’s standout features is its prime location, bordering Lee conservation area and directly facing East over the picturesque park opposite - Manor House Gardens.

Manor House Gardens is a beautiful family park loved by locals (as well as further afield se Londoners alike) - with a serene central lake, vibrant café, multiple tennis courts, and a nice size playground (My 5-year-old loves the swirly slide and the duck platform!)

The park entrance is like an extension of the house - literally across the road.

The house itself is marginally broader than the average on the street, having been originally built in the same shape as the junction with Thornwood Road.

On the whole, the house requires full refurbishment, however the boiler was replaced around 10 years ago (serviced annually) and the carpets have been recently replaced to at least make a neat starting point.

Being slightly larger than the typical 3 bed on the street, the layout is unusual with 4 original bedrooms upstairs (2 doubles, 2 singles) with the main bedroom being a giga bedroom in comparison to the others.

The currently narrow galley kitchen borders the dining room (which most will likely now knock through and even rear extend) and leads out to the West facing private garden — perfect for BBQs or afternoon sunbathing.

With many neighbouring homes having undergone loft conversions and extensions, there is plenty of potential/precedence here to expand and add value, subject to ‘permitted development’ / the necessary planning permissions.

A good house to compare against is the recently loft extended 64 Manor Lane – which went for a quirky/contemporary dormer extension (around 2021) instead of a more imposing ‘hip to gable’ extension.

As an end of terrace, the house has both a gated side access and a garage at the rear which could be a cool planning project in itself.

Living on Manor Lane offers exceptional convenience. Hither Green Station is just a 550-metre walk door to door, providing quick links to London Bridge Station in approximately 12 minutes, making it an ideal location for city commuters.

The neighbourhood is well-served by local amenities, including a large Sainsbury’s supermarket just 600 metres away on Lee Green, and a selection of popular restaurants such as 'Carola' (700-metres) and 'Luciano’s' (850-metres). For a more relaxed family atmosphere, take your pick between the Station Pub (400 metres opposite Hither Green Station) or the Lord Northbrook pub (850-metres just before Lee Station) which is a local favourite.

The owners grew up in the house, and recall the warm relationships with neighbours and the vibrant community spirit that defines this part of Hither Green. They have cherished memories of playing in the park (still in view of mum and dad opposite), the close-knit neighbourhood, and the ease of access to everything.

A perfect project for those looking for a home with a rich history and brimming with potential to create their own space in an idyllic location.
