This bay-fronted, single-storey bungalow sits on a generous corner plot in a quiet cul-de-sac, offered chain free and well suited to buyers looking to downsize without sacrificing space. The property features two double bedrooms, a 16ft kitchen/breakfast room and a large driveway with a detached garage that has power, lighting and an electric door. Low‑maintenance paved gardens and artificial lawn give outside space that’s easy to manage.
The house is solid mid‑20th century brick construction with double glazing and mains gas central heating via a boiler and radiators. Its layout and plot provide clear scope to extend (subject to planning) for more living space or a reconfigured layout — an appealing prospect for those wanting to personalise rather than move. Local amenities, Nugent Park shopping, and St Mary Cray station are within easy reach for shopping and commuting.
Buyers should be aware the home will benefit from internal modernisation to meet contemporary finishes and energy standards. The walls are solid brick with no known cavity insulation (assumed), and some rooms show dated décor and fittings. There is a single bathroom and the property’s modest footprint limits living space compared with larger family homes.
Practical strengths include chain-free freehold ownership, off-street parking for multiple cars, a substantial garage and straightforward, low‑upkeep gardens. The location is convenient for local schools (several rated Good) and public transport, making this a sensible, manageable option for downsizers or those seeking a single-level home with extension potential.
