3 bed 1 bath Detached
Large garden and schools nearby — ideal for families wanting scope to modernise.
Large detached house on a long driveway and large plot (70ft+ rear garden)
Set on a long driveway within the Crofton Heath development, this mid‑20th century detached house offers authentic family living on a generous plot. The large 27ft lounge/dining room and sun room/conservatory provide flexible daytime space, while the garden in excess of 70ft gives rare private outdoor room for family play and potential landscaping projects. A single garage and driveway deliver convenient off‑street parking.
The property is well placed for families seeking top local schooling and easy rail links — Orpington station is about a mile away and several outstanding primary and secondary schools are nearby. Practical benefits include mains gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband/mobile coverage suited to modern household needs.
Internally the house retains many original features and a traditional layout, but it will suit buyers looking to modernise. Decorative and maintenance work is needed in places (dated wallpaper, carpets and general updating), and the property’s cavity walls are recorded with no added insulation, offering scope for energy improvements. There is one family bathroom serving three bedrooms, so reconfiguration or extension could add value for growing families.
Offered freehold in a very affluent area with low local crime and no flood risk, this home is a straightforward purchase for buyers wanting space, schools and scope to personalise. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the size of the reception rooms and the long rear garden.
