This double-fronted detached bungalow on Poverest Road offers straightforward single-storey living with genuine scope for improvement. Two double bedrooms, a bright living room opening into a conservatory and a 50ft rear garden make it well suited to downsizers, small families or investors seeking a refurbishment project.
The plot includes private gated off-street parking to the front and a decent-sized rear garden with lawn, gravel and a patio — useful for entertaining or future extension (STPP). The property is chain free and freehold, positioned close to St Mary Cray Station with direct links into central London, and nearby Nugent Park and Orpington High Street for shops and amenities.
The bungalow is of mid-20th-century construction with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) and older double glazing installed before 2002. The kitchen and some internal fittings are dated and will require modernization; this is reflected in the asking price and presents clear potential to add value. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; council tax band is moderate.
Practical points: there is no flood risk, broadband and mobile signal are strong, and local schools include several rated Good. Buyers should budget for updating windows/insulation, kitchen renovations and cosmetic work if they want to modernize. For someone wanting single-storey convenience with potential to extend, this bungalow offers a solid canvas in a well-connected suburb.
