This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Whippendell Way is a practical family home with useful off-street parking and a generous rear garden. The ground floor offers a comfortable lounge and a modern kitchen/diner; upstairs has three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property is freehold and offered chain-free, so a quick move is possible.
Transport and everyday convenience are clear strengths: St Mary Cray mainline station and local shops are within walking distance, and mobile signal and broadband speeds are strong. The house dates from the 1950s–60s, has double glazing and gas central heating, and presents sensible scope to extend at the rear or into the loft (subject to planning permission).
Buyers should be aware of significant local context: the immediate area is classified as very deprived with higher-than-average crime levels. Any plans to extend or loft-convert require planning approval (STPP); no permissions are in place. The property is average-sized at about 945 sq ft and will suit buyers wanting a ready-to-live-in home with scope to add value rather than a full renovation project.
Overall this is a sensible purchase for a household wanting good transport links, outdoor space and parking, plus realistic improvement potential. Investors or owner-occupiers prepared to accept the neighbourhood challenges and seek long-term uplift from extension or interior updating will find clear upside here.
