This 1930s semi-detached bungalow offers practical, single-level living with a first-floor master bedroom. A generous driveway for up to three cars, separate garage and a well-established, secluded rear garden give flexibility and outdoor space rarely found so close to Orpington High Street and local parks. The layout includes a ground-floor lounge, dining room, kitchen, second bedroom and family bathroom, with a large master bedroom and ensuite on the upper level.
The property is freehold and presented as a retirement-suitable home. For buyers aged 60 and over there is an option to purchase via a Lifetime Lease through Homewise’s Home for Life plan; a guide price for that option is £297,000 (market value listed at £450,000). Actual Lifetime Lease price and available percentage purchase (up to 50%) will depend on age and personal circumstances — use the publisher’s calculator or request a personalised quote to see potential savings.
Practical points to note: the house dates from the 1930s with solid brick walls (no known cavity insulation), double glazing with unknown install date and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Council tax is above average. Interested buyers should verify heating condition, glazing age and any insulation or repair needs during survey and legal checks.
Location benefits include easy access to Orpington High Street, local stations (Orpington and St Mary Cray), nearby parks and several well-regarded schools. The property’s size (about 875 sqft) and layout suit downsizers or retirees seeking a comfortable home with parking, garden and good local connections.
