Double-fronted 5-bed home with 129' west garden and excellent school links.
5 double bedrooms with principal ensuite
Built in 1923 and offered chain free, this handsome double-fronted detached house sits in a private plot close to Bickley station and a cluster of well-regarded schools. The ground floor flows from a large reception hall into multiple reception rooms and a conservatory that faces the 129' west garden — a rare, long rear plot ideal for family outdoor life or extension (STP).
Five double bedrooms occupy the first floor, with fitted wardrobes to most rooms and an ensuite to the principal bedroom. The house retains period character — original oak and teak floors, bay windows, cornicing and fireplaces — giving a comfortable, established family feel. A long boarded loft offers scope for a conversion subject to planning permission, providing clear potential to increase living space and value.
Practical strengths include a tandem garage, wide York stone carriage drive for several cars, mains gas heating, secondary glazing and fast broadband/mobile coverage. The property sits in an affluent, very low-crime neighbourhood with excellent local amenities and short walks to transport links.
Notable facts to consider: the house was built as solid brick with no recorded insulation (assumed), which may require upgrading to meet modern energy standards. There are two bathrooms for five bedrooms, and council tax is described as quite expensive. Any loft or side-extension proposals would require planning permission and the usual professional surveys.
