A 1930s-style four-bedroom chalet bungalow offering flexible family living across two floors and scope to modernise or extend (STPP). Ground-floor living is bright and practical: a bay-front bedroom, open-plan reception/dining room with French doors, and a sizeable kitchen with a central island that opens onto the private rear garden. The loft conversion provides two additional bedrooms, useful for children, guests or a home office.
The plot is a strong asset — a decent rear garden, patio, off-street parking for multiple vehicles and a detached 19' garage with conversion or storage potential. The property sits in a peaceful, well-connected Orpington location with fast rail links into London and access to several highly rated schools, making it appealing to families seeking space and convenience.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the overall internal size is modest for four bedrooms (about 1,039 sq ft), there is a single family bathroom, and the loft rooms may have restricted headroom and limited eaves storage. The house is solid-brick as built with assumed no wall insulation, double glazing of unknown age and an Energy Rating of D — so buyers may wish to budget for insulation and energy improvements.
This home suits a family or downsizer who values a quiet residential street and wants a character property they can update. With planning to extend (STPP) and modernise, it offers clear potential to increase living space and energy efficiency while retaining period charm.
