Three-bedroom family home with garden, driveway and strong school links.
Detached 1930s Tudor-Revival family house with period features
This 1930s detached house combines period Tudor-Revival character with practical family living. The ground floor offers a bay-fronted reception room with a feature fireplace and a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, while three bedrooms upstairs suit a small family.
Outdoor space is a genuine plus: a south-facing rear garden with patio, lawn and shed for storage, plus a driveway providing off-street parking. The property sits close to well-regarded primary and secondary schools and benefits from straightforward rail links at Petts Wood and St Mary Cray, making commutes and school runs convenient.
There are some important facts to note. The home has a single family bathroom and an EPC rating of E. The property dates from 1930–1949 with solid brick construction (no built-in insulation assumed), and council tax sits above average. These points mean there is clear potential for energy-efficiency upgrades and cosmetic modernisation to improve running costs and comfort.
Overall, this is a characterful, well-located detached house that will appeal to families seeking space, garden and good local schools. Buyers prepared to update heating, insulation and finishes can add value and reduce future bills.
