Homes in Bexleyheath
Bexleyheath expanded rapidly between the wars, and its streets are full of 1930s semis, short terraces and bungalows built by speculative builders. The Red House in Upton, built for William Morris in 1859, is a reminder that a few Victorian and earlier houses survive among them.
Old Bexley Village, to the south, has older cottages and listed buildings in a conservation area. Most local houses are cavity-walled brick with tiled roofs, often extended to the rear or into the loft, and many have bay windows and porches typical of the era. Bexleyheath Broadway is the main shopping centre, and some newer flats have been built close to it, while many semis on surrounding streets have been extended over the decades.
Areas we cover include Bexleyheath, Barnehurst, Upton, Bexley Village.
