Abbotswood Road housing estate


Recommended Posts

I may have to move in the new year and wanting to stay in SE22 my budget is at the new build end of the market. Looking online, of the 20 houses in SE22 that are within my budget, 13 are on or around Abbotswood Road and I wondered why so many people are trying to sell up from there at the moment. Is it because of the proposed redevelopment of DHFC or is it to do with the quality of the houses themselves?

I have lived there for 17 years and as far as I know nothing to do with DHFC or the houses. I think some people may be just trying to cash in on the high prices at the moment. It's a great [;ace to live - so quiet, yet near all the transport links and has a great sense of community.

As someone who put an Abbotswood Rd house up for sale a couple of months ago, Ladygooner has it exactly right. Unfortunately lots of other people seem to have the same idea, so we've now taken it off the market for the present time.


It is a lovely area, though. Don't be put off by the sudden rush.

Lots of landlords trying to cash in on the peak and missing it. It's a good location but new build isn't everyone's cup of tea. Small houses but very quiet road. At the Talbot Road end there was or is a planning application to build a gym or block of flats by the train line with access via Talbot road. Residents at the other end of Abbotswood share ownership of the land bordering the train line and use it for allotments. No issues besides the lack of period features, if you can stomach that (many can't).

Having sold one last year I think that many people that buy them out grow them. What we found when selling was the people were casting their gaze in that direction after having surveys done on the general stock and realising that buying a Victorian house is a quick way of losing your cash in repairs and maintenance.


We were there a very happy 9 years. Its a beautiful place to live!

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
