Set back in a quiet south Orpington road, this four-bedroom detached bungalow offers roomy single‑storey living on a large plot, ideal for families wanting easy access to green space and good local schools. The house has been extended to the rear to create a large open-plan living area combining kitchen and dining, plus a separate reception and utility room. A secluded westerly garden, outbuilding and single garage extend practical space for family life and hobbies.
Practical details work in the property’s favour: freehold tenure, off-street parking, double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas central heating and no recorded flood risk. The location is strong for commuting and amenities — Orpington and Chelsfield stations (fast services to London), shops, leisure facilities and several highly rated schools are all within easy reach.
The bungalow dates from the 1950s–60s and shows mid‑century construction characteristics. External walls are cavity as built with no assumed cavity insulation, which, together with older construction, may mean higher heating costs and scope for insulation or energy-efficiency improvement. Room sizes vary; some living spaces are medium rather than generous, so buyers seeking very large rooms should check measurements carefully.
This home will suit a family seeking single‑storey convenience, someone looking to adapt a spacious plot, or downsizers who still need multiple bedrooms and storage. It also offers sensible scope for targeted modernisation: adding insulation, reconfiguring internal layout or updating finishes could increase comfort and long‑term value.
