Single-level living with large garden, garage and annex potential near Orpington station.
Detached three-bedroom bungalow on a large, private plot
This detached three-bedroom bungalow offers comfortable single-level living on a large plot in Orpington. The accommodation includes a well-proportioned reception room, a bright shower room described as stunning, and a functional kitchen that would benefit from updating. Double glazing and a mains-gas boiler installed in 2021 provide immediate comfort and efficiency.
Outdoor space and parking are strong selling points: a long tarmac driveway leads to a detached garage and there is a generous, private rear garden with paved entertaining areas, lawn and useful outbuildings. Planning permission was granted in October 2020 to replace the garage with a self-contained annex (DC/20/02436/FULL6), offering an existing route for enlargement or ancillary income subject to reinstating those plans.
The bungalow sits in an affluent, low-crime neighbourhood close to Orpington High Street, the station and several well-regarded schools, making it suitable for downsizers seeking convenience or families wanting single-floor living. There is also scope for rear or loft extensions (subject to planning), so purchasers seeking improvement potential will find genuine upside.
Buyers should note the property will benefit from some modernisation: the kitchen looks traditional and dated, and there is only one bathroom for three bedrooms. If the approved annex option is pursued, the garage would be removed. Overall, this is a spacious, freehold bungalow with immediate practicality and clear potential for enhancement.
