Double glazing, gas central heating and an EPC rating of C provide reasonable efficiency for a mid-century build.
This property will suit families who prioritise local schools and fast commuter links. Riddlesdown station is a short walk away with frequent services into central London, and nearby highly regarded schools, including Riddlesdown Collegiate, add to the location’s appeal. The house is neutrally decorated throughout and benefits from off-street parking and a detached garage.
There is clear potential to extend (subject to necessary planning consents) for those looking to add space or value, thanks to the large plot. Practical considerations include a single family bathroom and above-average council tax banding. The property dates from the 1950s–1960s, so buyers should expect typical mid-century construction and consider any modernisation they prefer.
Overall this freehold home offers a convenient, comfortable base in a very affluent area with strong transport and school links, good outdoor space and straightforward scope for extension or improvement for growing families.
