Summary - 78, Crockenhill Road, ORPINGTON BR5 4DF
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Sunny garden, large kitchen/diner, ideal for first-time buyers and commuters.
Newly renovated — move-in ready condition
This newly renovated three-bedroom semi delivers a tidy, move-in-ready home close to St. Mary Cray station and Nugent Centre — a practical choice for commuters and first-time buyers. The ground floor’s 19'4" kitchen/diner and south-west facing rear garden create comfortable day-to-day living and simple entertaining space. A large insulated garden room with underfloor heating and wired internet adds flexible space for working from home or hobbies.
The property is compact at about 661 sq ft on a decent plot, so it suits small families or buyers wanting a manageable footprint. There is clear scope to add value: loft and rear extensions are possible subject to planning permission (STPP), and many nearby houses have extended. The home benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and a recent refurbishment that reduces immediate maintenance needs.
Buyers should note material constraints: overall size is small, on-street parking only, and the local area is classified as very deprived with average crime figures, which may affect resale and rental demand. Council Tax Band D applies and the house dates from the 1950s–60s construction era. Internal viewing is recommended to assess layout and extension potential personally.
