This 1930s three-bedroom semi-detached house sits on a generous, mature plot in a highly sought-after Orpington location, around half a mile from Orpington station. Original period features remain throughout, including bay windows and traditional brickwork, giving immediate character while providing scope to modernise and extend (subject to planning).
The ground floor offers a bay-front living room, separate dining room and kitchen, with internal access to an attached garage and driveway parking for 1–2 cars. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a good third bedroom and a single family bathroom. The rear garden is noticeably large and mature, with established apple trees and strong potential for landscaping or extension to the rear or loft.
Practical points: the house is chain-free and freehold, has mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing installed post-2002 and excellent broadband and mobile signal. The property sits in an affluent, very low-crime area close to several highly rated schools, making it well suited to families and buyers seeking commuter convenience.
Considerations: the property will benefit from updating and possible insulation improvements — the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated. There is a single family bathroom only, and any enlargement would require planning consent. Council Tax Band E (Bromley).
