This extended 1930s semi-detached home on Tubbenden Drive is arranged over multiple floors with four bedrooms, a light-filled bay-front reception and an open-plan kitchen/dining area opening to a well-kept rear garden. The layout suits a family seeking proximity to excellent schools and fast rail links into Central London. Off-street parking and a decent plot add practical everyday convenience.
The property has been well maintained and includes a converted garage now used as a utility/workshop, modern kitchen space and double glazing. Nearby highly regarded schools, good local shops and Orpington station (around three-quarters of a mile) make this a strong location for commuters and families.
Buyers should note some trade-offs: the house has a single family bathroom, an EPC rating of D, solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, and above-average council tax. Crime levels in the area are reported above average, which prospective buyers may want to investigate further.
Overall this is a comfortable, practical family home with scope to personalise or upgrade energy performance and interior finishes. It will particularly appeal to families prioritising school catchments and rail commuting times, and to buyers looking for a period property that combines character with ready-to-live-in presentation.
