Summary - 1 DORADO GARDENS ORPINGTON BR6 7TD
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Renovated 5-bed detached on a large corner plot with pool and easy rail links.
Heated swimming pool with detachable cover, powered by air source heat pump
Set on a large, secluded corner plot in sought-after Chelsfield, this recently renovated 1960s detached home blends contemporary living with classic proportions. The extended ground floor delivers an expansive open-plan kitchen/diner with vaulted glass ceiling, seamless indoor–outdoor access and direct views over a heated swimming pool powered by an air source heat pump. Underfloor heating at ground level and integrated appliances add modern convenience.
Accommodation is flexible: four good double bedrooms upstairs, two family bathrooms, and a versatile additional reception room on the ground floor that can serve as a fifth bedroom or formal sitting room. A dedicated home office supports working from home. The house totals around 1,764 sqft and sits within easy reach of Goddington Park (0.5 miles), Chelsfield and Orpington stations (both under 2 miles) and several well-regarded schools, including two outstanding selective secondaries.
The property’s eco credentials include the air source heat pump that services the pool and supports lower running costs for that element; gas boiler and radiators remain the main heating system. The newly renovated interiors are largely move-in ready and designed for entertaining, but the fabric shows typical 1960s construction: cavity walls with assumed no added insulation and double glazing of unknown install date.
Practical points to note: the heated pool and detached cover require ongoing maintenance and servicing; council tax band is expensive. Overall, this is a spacious, stylish family home offering strong entertaining space, excellent local amenities and schools, plus scope to add value by improving thermal insulation and confirming glazing upgrades where required.
