This extended three-bedroom semi-detached home on Oakdene Road is presented in very good order and offered freehold with no onward chain — an attractive package for growing families. The ground floor flows well, with an extended reception that provides distinct living and dining zones, a contemporary kitchen with integrated appliances, a conservatory and a handy utility/covered passage. Upstairs are three good-sized bedrooms (two with built-in wardrobes) and a modern bathroom with a large walk-in shower and vanity unit.
Externally the house sits behind a front lawn and driveway providing off-street parking, with a private southerly rear garden of around 45ft — a genuine family asset for outdoor play and entertaining. Practical improvements are already in place: double glazing installed post-2002, mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators, and cavity wall construction with filled cavity. Total internal area is approximately 1,296 sq ft, offering generous family accommodation in a popular commuter town.
Location is a clear strength: Orpington offers fast rail links into London (from about 17 minutes), reputable schools nearby including several rated Outstanding, and convenient shopping and leisure facilities. Crime risk is low, broadband and mobile signals are strong, and there is no flooding risk. Council Tax sits at Band D.
Notable points to be aware of: the front low boundary walls require some maintenance, and there is a single bathroom serving three bedrooms which may be a consideration for larger families. The house dates from the 1950s–60s, so certain elements may reflect that era even though many internal fittings have been modernised. Overall this is a well-presented, practical family home with scope to personalise further.
