This three-bedroom semi-detached home in Petts Wood offers a well-located, chain-free opportunity for families or buyers seeking value through improvement. The through lounge/diner and bay-fronted living room provide traditional layout and scope to reconfigure or extend (subject to planning). The private garden and single garage add useful outdoor and storage space on a modest plot.
The property requires modernization throughout — dated kitchen and bathroom, older double glazing and likely uninsulated cavity walls — so buyers should budget for refurbishment. There is only one family bathroom and relatively small overall floor area (about 699 sq ft), which may suit first-time buyers or downsizers rather than larger families.
Location is a strong asset: positioned between Petts Wood station and the highly regarded Crofton schools, with good transport links and local amenities nearby. Several neighbouring properties have been extended, so there is reasonable potential to add space (STPP) and increase value for buyers prepared to invest.
Practical considerations: council tax band E (above average), medium flood risk, and a small plot. The property is freehold and chain free, making a quicker purchase possible for an acquired buyer prepared to modernize and improve the home.
