This three-bedroom semi-detached home in Blythe Hill, Orpington (BR5) offers spacious family living across approximately 1,216 sq ft. A long 26' lounge flows into a large conservatory, creating bright entertaining space, while a modern kitchen includes a five-burner hob and extractor fan. The rear garden (about 55' x 30') features a wooden gazebo and paved patio, and the plot provides extension potential (subject to consents).
Practical everyday living is well served: ground-floor cloakroom, first-floor family bathroom, loft with power and light, and off-street parking for 2–3 cars via driveway and carport. The property is freehold and has mains gas central heating with double glazing installed post-2002.
Notable positives nearby include several well-regarded primary schools and local shops and cafés within walking distance. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, helping both family life and home working.
Buyers should note a few material points: the surrounding area is classified as deprived with above-average crime levels, and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated (typical of the construction era). The house dates from around 1950 and, while well maintained, carries scope and potential for modernisation or refurbishment to improve energy efficiency and layout.
