This well-presented three-bedroom semi-detached house on Crescent Drive is arranged over two floors and ready for immediate occupation, offered chain free. The accommodation combines period character — mock-Tudor gables and bay windows — with recent renovation, creating comfortable family living while leaving clear scope to add value using the already-granted single-storey side/rear extension planning permission.
Outdoor space is a standout: a landscaped rear garden of approximately 157ft provides a long private lawn, mature planting and a paved patio. A fully insulated outbuilding with underfloor heating, electrics and Wi‑Fi offers year-round use as a home office, gym or studio. Driveway parking leads to a 19ft garage with front and rear electric shutters, useful for secure storage or workshop use.
Practical details are transparent: the house benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and has been newly renovated internally. It sits close to Petts Wood station, local shops and several highly rated primary and secondary schools, making it well suited to families commuting to London. Broadband speeds are reported fast and the area has very low crime and high affluence.
Buyers should note material facts: the property dates from the 1930–49 period and external walls are solid brick (insulation assumed absent), which may affect future insulation works and energy costs. Council tax is above average. Mobile signal is classed as average. These points are practical considerations for anyone planning further energy-efficiency improvements or larger projects post-purchase.
