Affordable 2-Bed Freehold House in Abbey Wood

About The Property

157 Godstow Road, Abbey Wood SE2 9AX

Freehold | 2 Double Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom | 824 sq ft | Off-Street Parking | No Chain

Where else in London can you buy a freehold house for £300,000? Not a flat. Not a leasehold. A real home — with your own front door, garden and parking just 20 minutes from Central London via the Elizabeth Line at Abbey Wood.

Set on a quiet stretch of Godstow Road, this two-bedroom freehold house has been refreshed, feels calm, clean and ready for it’s next chapter. There’s new carpet throughout, a modernised bathroom, and a practical kitchen with soft-close drawers, new worktops and original serving hatch connecting spaces.

The layout is simple: entrance hall into the living room, kitchen at the rear opening onto a 40 ft north-facing garden, and upstairs two double bedrooms. 

The south facing main bedroom is ready for a fresh coat of paint or wallpaper so you can make it your own. Natural light filters through double-glazed windows at both ends, and there’s off-street parking for one car.

Behind the clean presentation, the essentials are straightforward. 

Location & Lifestyle

The garden is a genuine feature: around 40 feet long, 20 feet wide and partly hard-standing for low-maintenance use and partly ready for turf or Astro and perfect for young children or adults enjoying the summer sun. 

Local life revolves around Southmere Park (five-minute walk) — lakeside walks, cafés and new community spaces as part of the Thamesmead regeneration. Lidl and Sainsbury’s are nearby, with gyms, nurseries and schools within easy reach.

Commuting: Abbey Wood station → Central London in ≈ 20 minutes (Elizabeth Line).

Connectivity: High-speed broadband available (check postcode for fibre options).
