Summary - 17, Kenilworth Road, Petts Wood, ORPINGTON BR5 1DY
2 bed 1 bath Ground Maisonette
Chain-free two-bedroom garden maisonette near Petts Wood station and outstanding Crofton schools.
Chain-free ground-floor maisonette with share of freehold
Ground-floor garden maisonette in Petts Wood offering straightforward, chain-free purchase and genuine scope for improvement. The flat has two double bedrooms, a lounge opening to a private rear patio and garden, plus a separate kitchen and front garden with potential for off-road parking (drop kerb subject to planning permission). Share of freehold, gas central heating and double glazing provide solid basics for everyday living.
The accommodation is compact (approximately 453 sq ft) and will suit first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors wanting a low-entry foothold in a very affluent area with excellent transport links. Petts Wood mainline station and highly rated Crofton schools are within easy reach, making the location a major asset for families and commuters.
The property is a mid-20th century build with pebble-dash exterior and original solid brick walls. It needs modernisation throughout — cosmetic updating, energy-efficiency improvements (walls likely uninsulated and glazing pre-2002) and general refurbishment will be required to maximise value. The rear garden is long and narrow with a pergola and shed; outdoor space is useful but plot is very small overall.
Important practical notes: the sale is chain free and tenure is share of freehold. Prospective buyers should budget for updating works and confirm planning permission for any vehicle access to the front garden. No flooding risk and local crime is very low, adding to the appeal for families.
