4 bedroom end of terrace house

GUIDE PRICE £725,000 TO £750,000.

Set well back from the road, and architecturally appealing from exterior façades which serve as an amuse-bouche to the grand features of its interiors, this house is enormous at almost 2000 sq. feet.

According to the Survey of London, Volume 38, the house was built in 1843, with the first occupant of the house a Captain associated with the former Woolwich Dockyard. It is not listed, though Woodhill boasts no less than a dozen grade II listed properties, all associated with the nearby historic military and naval institutions of Woolwich.

The house has stripped wooden floors, polished wood volutes to the stairs, near full height double doors that separate or interconnect the two principal living rooms, and high ceilings that help to create a sense of space, if ever that was needed.

The ground floor features a recessed entrance porch that leads to the grand entrance hall, giving access to the two reception rooms. The first room has a feature fireplace and glazed double doors behind solid wood shutters to a Juliette balcony which faces the front garden. The second room, interconnected by double doors, has a window which overlooks the rear garden. There is also a great size bathroom on the ground floor which lends itself to being split into a bathroom and boot room, due to its size.

From the entrance hall, a set of stairs takes you down to the lower ground floor. Here there is a second entrance door to the front which leads to the former coal cellar under the front path and the steps back up to the front garden. The largest room in the house is an additional bedroom or reception room (the choice would be yours) with a window facing front. Behind this are the kitchen and dining room, both usefully open plan and featuring modern fitted units, two skylight windows plus an additional window and door to the garden, all of which allow natural light to fill the space. The lower ground floor is also home to a shower room/wc, and substantial storage.

Back to the ground floor and there is a full turning staircase to the first floor. Here there are three bedrooms all with sash windows, which are accessed from a generously sized landing. The largest and smallest face the front whilst the second bedroom overlooks the rear garden. The smallest is currently used as a home office.

The rear garden can be reached from the dining space and has a small patio area with steps up to a much larger paved patio. Beyond there are lawns with an arrangement of trees including a specimen olive. An established wisteria grows up and around the garage which is a big space measuring 18’ 6 x 16’ and is reached from a rear access.

Woodhill has a Woolwich, SE18 postcode, but sits on the periphery of Charlton. It is in fact equidistant between Woolwich Arsenal and Charlton Village. It is incredibly convenient and central.

Woolwich town centre has a good selection of high street brands and there are a good choice of local shops at nearby Charlton Village, as well as the lido. Beyond that there is Blackheath Royal Standard where you will find a varied choice of eateries, boutiques and a Marks and Spencers food Hall. The house is surrounded by fabulous areas to walk, including the Thames Path, Maryon and Charlton Parks, with Woolwich Common and Oxleas Woods also within walking distance. Charlton itself has Greenwich Shopping Park where you will find many high street brands and several large supermarkets.

The nearest station is Woolwich Dockyard with frequent services into London Bridge and Cannon Street. A little further afield in Woolwich is the Elizabeth Line with fast and frequent services into Docklands, the City, West End and beyond, and also the DLR to Docklands and the City (Bank). A bus ride away is North Greenwich station on the Jubilee Line. In addition there is the Thames Clipper service from Woolwich Arsenal.

There are numerous bus services to neighbouring areas and cycle paths/routes close by. The M25 can be reached within 10 minutes.
