A detached three-bedroom bungalow on Cheltenham Road offers single-level living on a large, well-kept plot in South Orpington. The house benefits from central heating, double glazing and a generous, beautifully tended rear garden with fruit trees, vegetable beds and a spacious patio — a rare outdoor asset for this area. Off-street parking and an attached garage add practical convenience.
Internally the layout is traditional with a bay-front living room and three bedrooms served by a single bathroom. The property dates from the early 20th century and retains period character but shows signs of age: some rooms have dated décor and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so further thermal improvements and internal modernisation will add value. Council tax is high; buyers should factor ongoing running costs into their budget.
Location is a clear strength: very low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, with good primary and secondary schools nearby and reliable rail links at Orpington and Chelsfield. The freehold tenure and no flood risk make this a straightforward purchase for downsizers, families seeking single-storey accommodation, or buyers wanting a bungalow with renovation upside.
Overall this is a practical, spacious bungalow in a sought-after neighbourhood that rewards modest investment. The garden and plot are standout features and the property suits purchasers prioritising outdoor space and accessible, single-level living. Buyers seeking a fully modern turnkey home should expect to undertake some updating and insulation work.
