Set on a generous plot close to schools and transport, this single-storey home offers comfortable living and genuine scope to modernise. The reception room with a bay window and character fireplace gives immediate charm, while a separate kitchen and dining room open directly onto a well-kept, c.50ft rear garden — excellent for children and weekend entertaining. A double garage and driveway provide secure parking and storage.
Internally the layout is practical: three bedrooms and a fully tiled family bathroom across approximately 1,000 sq ft of living space. The property benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing (installed before 2002), delivering immediate warmth and light, though décor and fittings are dated and will suit buyers seeking to update finishes to their taste.
Important practical points: the outer cavity walls are as-built with no added insulation (likely affecting energy efficiency), and some modernisation is recommended to achieve contemporary comfort and value. The area is affluent with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and the house is a 15-minute walk (0.8 miles) from Orpington station for commuters. Note the local crime rate is above average; buyers should factor this into their plans.
