A roomy 1930s semi-detached home offering five bedrooms and flexible single-level living makes this property well suited to over-60 buyers seeking longevity and family visits. The ground-floor bedroom with en‑suite and an additional shower room provide practical accessibility, while a large lounge/diner and conservatory open onto a generous rear garden for outdoor relaxation and entertaining.
Practical highlights include off-street parking for up to three cars, a rear garage, and a location within walking distance of Welling station and strong local schools. The home sits in a very low-crime, affluent neighbourhood with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal—useful for keeping connected to services and family.
Buyers should note the fabric is typical of its era: solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, and the double glazing was installed before 2002. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; the house may benefit from energy-efficiency upgrades. Council tax is above average.
