This handsome 1930s Tudor‑revival detached house sits on a large plot in the heart of Orpington, about 0.6 miles from the station. The layout offers comfortable family living with two reception rooms, a conservatory, a modern kitchen with integrated appliances and a separate utility. The rear garden extends over 130 feet and provides a private, mature outdoor space ideal for children and entertaining.
Practical features include a paved driveway, an integral garage with an electric door, a Vaillant EcoTEC combi boiler and a water softener in the utility. The house has double glazing (install date unknown) and a part‑boarded loft; there is scope to extend further subject to planning permission, which will appeal to buyers wanting to increase space or value.
Important considerations are stated plainly: the property is in a very high crime area, which may affect insurance and security decisions. The building is solid brick with assumed no wall insulation; improving thermal performance could be needed to lower running costs. Accommodation includes one family bathroom plus a separate WC, so families should consider bathroom provision.
Overall this is a well‑presented period family home on a substantial plot close to schools, shops and fast rail links to London. It will suit buyers seeking a character house with potential to alter or extend, but who are comfortable addressing insulation and security issues.
