Characterful 1930s family home with 100ft+ south-west garden and garage.
Four bedrooms and two reception rooms, good family layout
Set well on Crescent Drive in sought-after Petts Wood, this extended 1930s semi-detached family home offers four bedrooms and two reception rooms across an average-sized 1,280 sq ft layout. The property’s real draw is the south-west facing garden of roughly 100+ feet — a private, sunny space ideal for children’s play, gardening or summer entertaining. Off-street parking and a detached garage add useful storage and practicality for family life.
Internally the house is presented with period character: bay windows, hardwood floors and a mid-century living room feel. The ground floor includes a fitted kitchen and conservatory that opens onto the long garden, while upstairs provides four bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate WC. The home is freehold and benefits from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime — useful for commuters and growing families.
Location is a strong selling point: highly regarded primary and secondary schools lie within easy reach (including two rated Outstanding), and Petts Wood station and Queensway amenities are close by for regular, fast services into central London. The surrounding area is affluent and well-served by local buses and shops.
Buyers should note some practical considerations: the house was constructed circa 1930–49 with solid brick walls (no known installed wall insulation) and double glazing of unknown age, so there is scope — and cost — for thermal upgrades and modernisation to improve energy efficiency. There is a single family bathroom (plus separate WC), which may be limiting for larger households. Overall this is a characterful, well-located family home with a substantial garden and clear potential for value-adding improvements.
