Quiet, single-storey living on a generous plot close to Orpington amenities. This two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offers practical, single-floor accommodation with a long rear garden, off-street parking for two cars and gas central heating. The layout suits someone seeking low-stepped living and outside space in a well-connected suburban location.
The large rear garden and decent plot depth are the property’s strongest assets — ideal for a conservatory, rear extension or garden overhaul (subject to planning). Internally the home is largely original in places and would benefit from modernisation to create a contemporary kitchen and bathroom and improve insulation.
Practical positives include double glazing, mains gas boiler and fast broadband/mobile signal, plus nearby good and outstanding schools. Important drawbacks: the property is a mid-20th century build with assumed solid brick walls and no installed cavity insulation, modest internal room sizes, low-to-standard ceilings and a single bathroom. These factors mean buyers should budget for retrofit insulation and general updating.
Sold freehold and chain free, the bungalow is best suited to downsizers, buyers seeking a single-level home, or someone planning a modest refurbishment or extension (STPP). Its suburban setting, parking and large rear garden give clear scope to add value, but the work required should be weighed into offer decisions.
