Brickworks says

Set within a handsome double-fronted Victorian house in Shooters Hill, this two-bedroom flat enjoys a quietly elevated position — quite literally. From the doorstep, London’s skyline makes a distant and impressive appearance, a pleasing reminder of the city beyond the calm.

Inside, hardwood floors ground the home with warmth and character. The main living area is open-plan, with the kitchen tucked behind a gentle archway, subtly zoning the room. It’s a space designed for proper living — somewhere to cook, dine, entertain, sprawl on the sofa or simply pause with a cup of tea. Outside, a shared garden sits at the back for when fresh air calls, but a full countryside ramble feels ambitious.

That said, Shooters Hill makes weekend meandering easy. Eaglesfield Park is just five minutes away with a newly refurbished playground, while Sitopia Farm offers locally grown vegetables and flowers. At the end of the road, the much-loved The Lord Herbert serves excellent stone-baked pizza, and nearby Woolwich now features a smart new leisure centre with pool, gym and sauna.

The owner says

We've loved living here — it’s such a beautiful, calm area, but also so well connected. You have all these amazing green spaces nearby, but you can be in East and Central London really quickly. It's also easy to get to City Airport and Heathrow. The area has a lovely community feel. We’ll be really sad to leave it.

The legal bit

While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple-check details. Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct. However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others. Also, please note that we often round up/down total floor plan measurements and/or use approximate distances.
