This early-1900s terraced cottage blends period character with useful modern updates, ideal for a growing family seeking convenient links to central London. The house offers two double bedrooms plus a smaller third bedroom, an open-plan lounge/dining layout and a recently fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. Off-street parking and a south-facing rear garden add practical appeal for day-to-day family life.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, chain-free sale, a 3/4-boarded loft with a regularly serviced Vaillant combination boiler, and easy access to Swanley station (around a 15-minute walk) with fast trains to central London. The property sits in an affluent, well-connected neighbourhood with good secondary schools close by and affordable council tax (Band C).
Buyers should note some limitations: broadband speeds are slow, the plot and rooms are relatively small for larger families, and the property shows signs of exterior wear and may suit further cosmetic updating in places. There is a single bathroom and no major flood risk. Overall this is a characterful, well-located home with clear potential to modernise and personalise.
