Two-bedroom first-floor maisonette with garden, loft and excellent rail links — chain free.
Share of freehold and offered chain free
A bright two-bedroom first-floor maisonette in Petts Wood, offered chain free with a share of freehold. The flat sits above ground level in a mid-20th century semi and benefits from double glazing, gas central heating via a combi boiler and a private rear garden — rare for maisonettes in the area. The useful loft, with a Velux window and radiator, provides valuable storage or potential conversion subject to consents.
Location is a standout: it’s a short walk to Petts Wood mainline station with frequent services into central London, and to well-regarded primary and secondary schools nearby. The neighbourhood is very affluent with very low crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, making it well suited to commuters, first-time buyers and downsizers seeking convenience and strong local amenities.
The property is modest in overall size (approximately 582 sq ft) and sits on a very small plot, so outdoor space is limited. The building dates from c.1950–66 and has solid brick walls with no known cavity insulation, which could mean higher heating costs and future improvement work. Buyers should budget for cosmetic updating to suit modern tastes and any loft conversion or insulation upgrades they may want to undertake.
Overall this maisonette offers an economical route into a desirable, well-connected pocket of Orpington. It will suit buyers who prioritise location, transport links and school catchments, and who are comfortable with a compact footprint and potential improvement work to boost long-term value.
