A double-fronted period cottage on Oakley Road offering traditional character and comfortable family living. Believed to date from the early 1800s, the house retains beams, cast-iron fireplaces and sash-style windows that give a strong sense of period charm. The layout includes two reception rooms, three double bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor—practical for growing families.
Outside, the easterly-facing rear garden stretches approximately 101' and is well screened by mature trees, with patio and barbecue areas, a shed and a small outhouse. The plot provides a private, sheltered outdoor space ideal for children, entertaining or gardening. The property is conveniently placed for Ravens Wood School, local bus routes into Bromley, Hayes and Orpington, and nearby Keston Village amenities and woodland walks.
Practical points to note: the house is solid brick and dates from before 1900, so it likely lacks wall insulation and may benefit from energy-efficiency upgrades (windows and insulation). The property is freehold, of average overall size (about 1,020 sq ft), with moderate council tax and no reported flood risk. For buyers wanting character in a well-connected area, this cottage offers immediate charm with scope to improve energy performance and reduce running costs.
