Step inside this early 20th-century mid-terrace and you’ll find a compact, family-friendly layout with period details and two reception rooms. The house offers useful living space across approximately 905 sq ft, a ground-floor bathroom and an approximate 50ft rear garden that suits outdoor play and entertaining. Being chain free and freehold makes the purchase straightforward for a family or buyer wanting a quicker move.
Accommodation is practical: two main bedrooms plus a smaller third room currently used as a dressing room, a cosy living room with a period fireplace and a separate dining/second reception. The property has double glazing (installed before 2002), mains gas central heating and conventional boiler/radiator heating — basics are in place for comfortable year-round living.
Notable considerations are factual and important: the property sits in a high-crime, higher-deprivation area which may affect family choice or rental demand. The building is of cavity-wall construction with no known cavity insulation (assumed) and glazing predates modern standards, so energy efficiency improvements could be beneficial. The plot is modest and the front offers no private lawn, although the rear garden is generous for the area.
This house will suit buyers seeking a period terrace with outdoor space close to local amenities and transport, and those prepared to undertake targeted improvements to heating, insulation or windows to increase comfort and reduce running costs. The location is convenient for St Mary Cray station, schools and local shops, making it a practical choice for families or investors prepared to factor area considerations into their plans.
