Set on a quiet, sought-after road in Orpington, this three-bedroom semi-detached house offers a practical family layout and scope to personalise. The ground floor provides a lounge, extended kitchen/breakfast area and a utility/dining space (formerly the garage), while upstairs are three bedrooms and a shower room. A large, 60ft+ rear garden with a substantial insulated-feel cabin creates useful extra space for a home office, gym or playroom.
The property is freehold, double-glazed and gas centrally heated, with a block-paved driveway for multiple vehicles. There is clear potential to increase living space by extending to the rear or into the loft (subject to planning permission), a common improvement in the area that could add value and better suit growing-family needs. Broadband and mobile signals are strong and local schools rated Good or Outstanding sit within easy reach.
Buyers should note some practical matters: the dining/utility area was the former garage and has no current garage regulations, the cavity walls are uninsulated (as-built), and the home falls into Council Tax band E (above average). The property reflects mid-20th-century construction and will suit those prepared to carry out cosmetic updates or targeted improvements to modernise energy efficiency and layout.
