Summary - 45, CRAY AVENUE, ORPINGTON BR5 4AA
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Large extended family home with garden and garage, ready for improvement.
Chain‑free, freehold 1930s semi with period bay windows
This 1930s semi‑detached home in Orpington is offered chain‑free on a freehold title and sits on a decent plot with a long rear garden and garage. A substantial ground‑floor extension at the rear creates more living space than the façade suggests, including a large through lounge and an L‑shaped kitchen/dining area with patio doors to the garden.
The property has solid period character — bay windows, decorative coving and a tiled roof — but requires updating throughout. The kitchen fittings are dated and the garage and garden need attention; cavity walls are likely uninsulated, so buyers should allow for modernisation costs (windows have later double glazing and heating is mains‑gas boiler and radiators).
Location benefits include easy walking access to Orpington High Street amenities, Priory Gardens, local schools and frequent bus routes, plus fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. There is no flood risk and council tax sits at a moderate band. However the neighbourhood scores higher for crime and wider area deprivation is noted, which prospective buyers should factor into their decision.
This house will suit a buyer looking for a family home with scope to modernise, extend further (subject to planning) or add value through refurbishment. It’s practical for immediate occupation if you accept cosmetic work, or attractive as a project for someone aiming to increase space and value in a well‑connected suburban setting.
