Chain free four double bedrooms and two bathrooms
Set on a quiet cul-de-sac of only nine houses, this chain-free four-double-bedroom detached chalet offers family-friendly space close to excellent schools. The ground floor has an unusually large living room with a linked office area, separate dining room, kitchen with built-in appliances, two double bedrooms and a downstairs bathroom — useful for multigenerational living or adaptable family use. Upstairs are two further double bedrooms with built-in storage and a family bathroom.
Externally the plot is a strong selling point: a large driveway for several cars, a detached 1970s garage and a well-maintained, spacious rear garden with mature planting and patio suitable for outdoor entertaining. Orpington station is about 0.9 miles away with fast services into central London, and highly regarded schools (Darrick Wood and Newstead Wood) are within easy walking distance, making this location especially appealing to commuting families.
The house dates from the 1950s–60s and retains some period/1970s character (exposed beam, wood staircase, retro garage). It has double glazing installed post-2002 and mains gas central heating. The EPC is rated D and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated — buyers should factor potential insulation and energy-efficiency improvements into budgets. Cosmetic updating is also likely to bring the interior fully up to modern preference.
Overall, the property suits buyers seeking a substantial family home in a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood with excellent schools and transport links. It offers immediate liveability with clear scope for investment through refurbishment and energy upgrades.
