The property has five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a separate WC on the ground floor. The front facing rooms all enjoy direct and uninterrupted views over leafy Plumstead Common, with the rooms to the rear overlooking nicely mellowed and peaceful Victorian streets framed by the tree canopy of nearby Shrewsbury Park.

The house is in a very quiet area with large green spaces. This makes it ideal for professionals working from home, or professionals who want to be close to the vibrancy of Woolwich, Greenwich and other very busy parts of London, but who want to return to a large quiet house in a peaceful, green, well kept part of the world.

For clinical and administrative staff employed at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, the journey to or from work is no more than a five minute bus journey or a 15 minute brisk walk.

For parents of school age children, the property has the size, storage and facilities to accommodate happily large and growing families, and further benefits from proximity to outstanding state schools.
