This substantial five-bedroom detached home on The Grove combines period character with recent contemporary extension work to suit family life. A single-storey rear addition creates a generous open-plan kitchen/diner with island, skylight and patio doors that flow to a large west-facing garden — ideal for afternoon sun and outdoor play. The property sits on a large plot with off-street parking and a driveway, and is offered freehold.
Practical running features include double glazing, mains gas central heating and fast broadband, plus no recorded flooding risk and low local crime. West Wickham station is around 0.6 miles away with direct services into central London, and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, making this attractive for growing families.
Buyers should note the house was constructed in the 1930s–1940s with solid brick walls (no known original cavity insulation), so there may be opportunities or requirements to improve thermal performance. There are two bathrooms serving five bedrooms, which could be limiting for larger households or may prompt further reconfiguration. Overall the property presents comfortable, versatile family accommodation with scope to update and personalise.
