Set on a popular Petts Wood East road, this spacious 1930s detached family home offers 1,444 sq ft of well-arranged living space and a generous 84 ft rear garden. The property is chain free and sits 0.3 miles from Petts Wood station, making commutes into central London straightforward. Crofton schools are in the immediate catchment, suiting growing families.
Accommodation includes two reception rooms, a bright kitchen/dining area with garden access, a downstairs WC and four double bedrooms on the first floor, each with built-in storage. Outside there is off-street parking sufficient for multiple vehicles and a large detached powered garage — useful for storage or a workshop. There is planning potential to extend further (STPP), offering scope to increase value and living space.
Buyers should note some practical drawbacks: the house has only one bathroom for four bedrooms, an EPC rating of D, and solid brick walls likely lacking modern cavity insulation. Flooding risk is assessed as medium and the property’s tenure details are not confirmed. These factors may mean immediate or medium-term expenditure on insulation, energy upgrades or bathroom extension.
This home will suit families seeking excellent schools, transport links and a substantial garden with scope to modernise and personalise. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout, garden and extension potential.
