A substantial four-bedroom detached bungalow arranged over two floors, this property offers generous living space and clear renovation potential. The reception and dining rooms retain a feature fireplace and sliding doors that open onto a south-westerly garden, while a sizable integral garage and paved driveway provide ample parking and storage. The layout will suit a growing family looking for space close to excellent schools and fast rail links into London.
The house requires updating throughout — presented as a renovation project — so buyers should expect cosmetic and likely systems work. There is one main three-piece bathroom and a separate WC; the sizeable fourth bedroom in the loft currently uses eaves storage but offers scope to add an en-suite (STPP). Heating is gas-fired with a boiler and radiators; glazing is double but install dates are unknown.
Location is a key strength: Orpington station is nearby with typical 18-minute journeys to central London, and local amenities in Locksbottom and Orpington High Street are easily accessible. The property sits in an affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — practical for commuting and home working.
Important notice: this sale is subject to a public notice; any higher offers must be submitted in writing before exchange. Council tax is in Band F and should be factored into running costs. Overall, the house will particularly appeal to families or buyers seeking a mid-century detached home to modernise and personalise.
