Summary - BUCKS CROSS COTTAGES 6 BUCKS CROSS ROAD ORPINGTON BR6 7RN
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Tranquil village home with long south-facing garden and outbuildings.
Grade II listed cottage with original period features and exposed beams
This Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage combines authentic period character with practical living spaces across three levels. A cosy reception room with a working log burner and exposed beams creates immediate charm, while a bright first-floor dining/living area and fitted kitchen provide everyday functionality. The property totals c.669 sq ft and has been well maintained, including recent window refurbishment and redecoration.
The south-facing rear garden extends to around 100ft and is a standout feature: landscaped with patio areas, multiple sheds and two fully insulated, powered outbuildings currently used as a guest studio and home office — useful for flexible working or occasional rental. Off-street parking for two cars adds convenience in this village setting.
Buyers should note the material constraints of listed status: alterations will be restricted and may require listed-building consent, which can complicate renovations. The cottage also has solid brick walls (likely no cavity insulation), slow broadband speeds, and compact room sizes with some low ceilings in the kitchen — all typical of historic homes and factors to consider for modernisation or insulation improvements.
This home suits buyers who value period detail and a long garden within a quiet village close to good schools and commuter links. It will particularly appeal to those prepared to live with listed restrictions while investing selectively to improve thermal performance and connectivity.
