Summary - 5 Crofton Lane BR5 1HH
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Chain-free 3-bed detached on a large plot, close to outstanding schools and fast rail links.
Chain free detached house on large plot with private rear garden
Set on a large plot in a very affluent pocket of Orpington, this three-bedroom detached house is offered chain free and ready for a family seeking space close to excellent schools and fast rail links. The property retains period character — bay window, separate reception rooms and a traditional layout — and provides a straightforward canvas for updating or extending (subject to planning permission).
Internally the accommodation is practical: two reception rooms plus a dining room, fitted kitchen, downstairs cloakroom and a single family bathroom upstairs serving three well-proportioned bedrooms. The house measures approximately 1,194 sq ft and benefits from gas central heating and double glazing, although many internal fittings are dated and would benefit from renovation to meet contemporary expectations.
Outside, the wide driveway provides parking for several cars and leads to an integral garage. The rear garden is private, mainly lawned with a patio and gated side access — ideal for family use or for an extension into the garden (STPP). The plot size and location are strong value drivers in this neighbourhood.
Notable negatives are that the property dates from the 1950s and shows typical age-related limitations: some updating is required, the cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed), there is only one bathroom for three bedrooms, and council tax is high. Prospective buyers should budget for refurbishment and consider a survey to confirm structural and energy-performance details before committing.
