Set on an approximately half‑acre plot in desirable Beckenham, this substantial 1930s detached home offers generous living space for a growing family. The ground floor provides three reception rooms, a well‑sized kitchen, a downstairs WC and a self‑contained two‑room annex — useful for guests, older children or as rental income. Upstairs sits four principal bedrooms plus a master with access to a private roof terrace overlooking the mature rear garden.
Built in the early 20th century, the house retains period character and generous room proportions but will benefit from modernisation in places. The solid brick walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation and some areas may need updating to improve energy efficiency. There are two bathrooms for five bedrooms, so families should note potential reconfiguration or extension opportunities subject to the usual planning permissions (STPP).
Practical strengths include a large plot with well‑maintained gardens, garage parking and excellent transport links to Eden Park and West Wickham stations for routes into Central London. Local schools include Langley Park girls’ and boys’ schools and Oak Lodge and Langley Park primaries, all with good reputations. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent, while local crime and flood risk are both very low.
This property suits families seeking space, outdoor amenity and scope to personalise. Buyers should budget for energy‑efficiency improvements and possible bathroom reconfiguration or extensions to fully realise the home’s potential.
