Chain free three-bedroom detached house on large plot
Set on a generous plot in West Wickham, this chain-free three-bedroom detached home balances spacious family living with genuine extension potential (STPP). The house offers a traditional layout: bay-fronted dining room, a generous reception that flows to a conservatory, and a large kitchen with granite worktops and integrated appliances. A west-facing rear garden of over 120 feet gives considerable outdoor space for children and entertaining.
Practical advantages include multiple off-street parking spaces, a tandem garage, and easy access to excellent schools and regular services to central London. The property is well placed for West Wickham High Street amenities and nearby woodland, supporting both convenience and quieter family life. Energy performance is rated D and upgrades such as roofline insulation or modern glazing would improve comfort and running costs.
The house retains period character — Tudor Revival exterior, bay windows and solid brick walls — but much of the interior shows mid-century fittings and will benefit from modernization. Notable negatives: the decor is dated, double glazing predates 2002, walls are assumed uninsulated, and there is only one full bathroom plus a separate WC. Council Tax falls in a higher band and should be factored into running costs.
For a growing family seeking space and scope to add value, this property presents a substantial plot with immediate liveability and clear potential to extend. Buyers wanting a turnkey, fully modernised finish should budget for updates; those looking for a project will find strong bones and an enviable location.
