An absolutely stunning two bedroomed Victorian terrace house, which is for sale with Beaumont Gibbs. Situated in a lovely and residential road, a short walk from Plumstead & Winn Common, this property is a must view.
lived in the UK during the seventies. This would have been working class housing in those days. Now only a millionaire can afford it- how times have changed with fiat based inflation
Hello Pierre, in a lot of London area I agree you do have to be a millionaire to be able to afford it, but this house was sold at £420,000. Plumstead is one of the few areas where housing prices, although high, are still affordable to a large section of the public.
@@BeaumontGibbs. wow, that's awesome by SE standards. It was beautifully decorated ,has a gorgeous garden ,a loft - imagine what you could do with that but most importantly, you could just move in and not have to lift a finger 🙂.
I agree Pierre ...I honestly don't know where these prices come from ..having lived in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire most of my life ..2 beautiful parts of the country I might add ...for nearly half a million you can buy a big detached property with some land ! A run of the mill terrace would be under 150k.
@@lilachart6371 when you say Yorkshire, are you talking about York or Rotherham??? Obviously Yorkshire is vast and is divided into areas, but London is incomparable to most cities in the UK price wise for a reason. I love wide open spaces and quaint villages but I much prefer busy, happening , all on my door step a lot more and I am prepared to pay for that. I totally get its not for everyone though.
When I sold my terrace up north last year which was twice the size of this and totaly refurbished top to bottom, at a fraction of the price it has made me realise how ridiculous house prices are down south ..and how much I appreciate where I live !
Yes I bought a 2 bedroom Victorian brick house I 2012 I love it The 2 bedroom are a good size Bathroom with shower upstairs I was looking for this type of property The estate agent was very good He knew what I was looking for As soon as the property came on the market he called me and I have a property and it's you to the tee The minute I stood outside I knew immediately it was for me And when the agent opened the door I thought omg this is my new home I fell in love with it Todate I still love it
My mom, uncle and grandparents were from England, they moved to Canada in the 1940s. I’m addicted to English Victorian homes and love your videos. I’m a real estate agent from Toronto Canada.
My dad’s family lived in London and left in the 1880s for Toronto. He grew up in a Victorian twin in Toronto in the 1920s. Back then Toronto was affordable.
@@robindaniels2987 They are beautiful. Sadly, many old neighborhoods are being torn down and being replaced by high rises. My working-class grandparents could afford Toronto, but you need to be rich now!
@@susanpage8315 so true. Bothers me seeing homes torn down here. Back in the 30’s, my dad lived on Grace street in Toronto. With his grandparents, 2 aunts, 2 uncles, 2 cousins and a renter. 10 people, 1 bathroom. Unfinished basement too. They all worked at Tip Top Tailors and paid the mortgage and bills. They were immigrants from Russia that came to Toronto for a better life. My dad was born here.
@@SkumarC yes i get it. The biggest achievement is too have a full heart for everyone, the Greek ppl are like that. Thank you for your kind words. I wish you a wonderful day.😁😁
This is so educational from a foreign perspective. Terraced housing is uncommon in the US. It's fascinating to see how it's laid out. Space is certainly at a premium.
I wouldn’t call it stunning, but I can imagine you’ve had to look at some complete sh/Tholes in your time so when you see something quite clean and normal, you’re easily impressed. To be fair this seems well looked after.
Thank you Leigh. We think it's a lovely house too. I think people living way out of London do not or cannot always comprehend what you get in London, compared to the North of England for example.
People who've come up in the world, expect everthing with perfect finishes, watching too many TV programmes. Forget their grandparents probably came from a a similar property minus the modernisation
They put AstroTurf down, as the garden is small and rather have grass which is constant maintenance, they put false grass down to make it look pretty and saves on cutting.
Typical victorian houses would have had only bedrooms upstairs and toilets outside or just attached to the back. It's why many of them have the bathroom downstairs at the back of the house still. Rerooting plumbings expensive and it's often not cost effective to change a three bed to a two bed or a two double bed to a single and a double.
We have an identical house...we put an extension and doors out at the back and a large loft. Original fireplaces.2 streets away from seafront, £300,000
We are going to buy a similar house but larger , (100m2) 3 bedrooms and an attick room in Bishop Auckland for 80k, why would anybody live in the south of England ? it's complete rip off, the bins at the front of the house ? where do the bikes go ? no back gate ? and it's not a modern house it's an Ikea house, the video was ok though
You cannot compare London prices to where you are looking to buy. This part of London is in fact the cheapest area. Best of luck with your house purchase.
It's next door the city and easy into the west end. Then for fun it's down the way from Greenwich and the O2 and just over a hour to the coast. It has a lot going for it.
Quite nice but the kitchen is not fully integrated which is a shame. Also the light shades are totally wrong for the property. Nice period features though.
The asking price was £400,000, but this has been sold now. The postcode was SE18, Plumstead. If you are looking to buy, call our office on 020 8319 7600. many thanks.
I live on a Victorian street of Semi's. My next-door neighbour keeps her three giant multicoloured bins in her small front garden, when - unlike the people in the houses in this video - we all have big back gardens *and* quite big side returns [3 metres wide by 20 metres long] on our houses *behind* the gate that leads down the side of each of the houses. There us absolutely no need for her to leave her bins parked at the front. No one else on the road does it. She is apparently completely blind to how her house is the odd one out. She carries kitchen and recycling waste through her whole ground floor and out of the front door to put it in her bins. She does open her garden gate to take out garden waste, though. I just find it so weird and illogical.
Agreed looks very basic with no sense of style or taste. And the clashing green light shade with the front door - why? At least get them the same shade of green or two different colours!
@@zellalaing5439 lol lampshade doesn’t work at all…… IKEA has its place and is useful for storage etc but honestly this house is ALL IKEA and has no soul! So many houses have the exact same IKEA stamp all over them. No imagination at all and such a shame because these Victorian houses have good bones and can be very charming
It might be clean and fresh, but honestly, I was underwhelmed after your video title...no character at all, hardly any original features, but it was that familys home, and it suited them...
The hall is very small, claustrophobic. The garden is tiny, so no good if you want somewhere for the children to play football. This might suit a young business couple if they could afford it. Too small for a family of more than 3 at the most. Parking might be a problem.
You can't possibly get beds lounge furniture through that hall it's so tiny!!!! You must have to take the lounge window out to get furniture in.....??? Not good!
Hi Barbara, paint colour is a personal choice we understand, but it was a property in high demand and sold very quickly. Will the new owners keep the same door colour? We will have to wait and see.
We do not see this as a strange video! We were advertising the house for sale and achieved £20,000 over the asking price. Whether or not it is to your taste of course is entirely different.
Respectfully Duke, you cannot compare London Victorian terrace house with the vast open space of Australia and the land that comes with such properties.
The pea green entrance door has to go. The entrance hall is so small larger people or furniture problems. Outside area needs some real grass or just plain patio not Astro turf looks very tacky. It also needs a half bath put in down stairs. The kitchen seems average not great. The living room dinning room space were nice. My favorite room was the bathroom.
This is more of a 30k house rather than a 400k house. Upper working class at the best. It's not the sort of house for which it's worth getting a mortgage which would induce cancer of the colon.
@@ohthechitchat can't even get derelict houses for 30K in Wolverhampton most the time. For where it is the price is pretty good. My uncle had a house in Clapham half the size and worth £500K. Some people just don't seem to understand London prices do they?
@@zellalaing5439 Clapham is eye watering now. I think as this area (Woolwich) has more money pumped into it and people keep doing lovely upgrades to their homes it is not a bad area to get into at this time.
Too tiny for me. All the character has been removed from this home. What r the owners going to do when their children outgrow the bunk beds? The only room that I liked was the bathroom, at least this room had some charm. And the music is loud and distracting.
Totally overrated! Cheap “ Charley “ fittings throughout, and imagine the bloody racket going with the neighbors! Rabbit hatches, unhealthy ones at that. Another Essex wide boy flogging the obvious, nothing ever changes.
@@zellalaing5439 that isn’t the choice, many countries of this size have decent housing, most of Europe have decent houses, making our bedrooms big enough to fit a wardrobe doesn’t kill off the countryside
Dear Barbara, your comments are quite ridiculous really. If you think this is a slum house, you must live in a palace then. People live in different p[arts of England and in different parts of the world, where peoples houses and land plot differ massively.
@@BeaumontGibbs. No, I live in a manufactured home in Texas. My first bought home was a 2 bedroom in a bad part of Los Angeles, but at least at a decent sized living room and a laundry area, though it was built in 1914.
