This substantial 1920s detached home offers four double bedrooms, generous reception rooms and a rare 153' secluded rear garden — ideal for growing families and garden enthusiasts. The property sits 0.7 miles from Orpington station and close to several highly regarded schools, making it convenient for commuters and children of school age.
The house retains period character and has been well loved by the same family for almost 50 years, but it now requires modernization throughout. There is scope to improve layout and services (single bathroom plus separate WC), and potential to extend subject to planning, to create additional living space or an open-plan kitchen/diner.
Practical benefits include off-street parking via a long driveway and a detached tandem garage. Double glazing was installed post-2002 and the home is heated by a mains-gas boiler and radiators. Buyers should note cavity walls were constructed without insulation (assumed), and the property will benefit from energy-efficiency upgrades.
This is a chain-free freehold opportunity in an affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband and excellent mobile coverage. It will suit families wanting a spacious period home to adapt, or investors seeking refurbishment potential in a well-connected suburb.
