Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this chain-free detached bungalow offers single‑storey living on a generous plot (approx. 1,598 sq ft). The through sitting and dining room runs front to back with large windows and doors that open onto a secluded rear garden of about 50ft — ideal for children to play or for easy garden entertaining. Two double bedrooms plus a third single room (useful as a study) give flexible family accommodation.
Practical features include off‑road parking, a tandem detached garage and a double‑aspect kitchen with a door straight out to the garden. The layout places living and kitchen space together for everyday family use. The property is conveniently located for well‑regarded local schools (Darrick Wood within 0.4 miles) and is about a mile from Orpington station, with regular bus links to surrounding towns and London.
The bungalow dates from the mid‑20th century and has been maintained, but it does show its age in places. The double glazing was installed before 2002 and some buyers may want to update windows, bathrooms or internal finishes to suit contemporary tastes. There is a single three‑piece shower room plus a separate cloakroom, which may be limiting for larger households. Council tax is billed at the higher end.
Chain‑free freehold ownership and the large, private plot are the main strengths for families seeking one‑level living close to excellent schools and transport. Buyers wanting a move‑in‑ready, modern specification should factor in potential updating; those looking for scope to personalise will find solid potential and a spacious rear garden to develop.
