Set on a wide, desirable plot in a quiet no-through road, this substantial detached house offers classic mid-20th-century proportions and genuine extension potential (subject to planning). The layout includes a large entrance hall with wood flooring, three reception rooms plus a conservatory, and a kitchen with separate utility — practical for family life today and adaptable for a contemporary open-plan layout.
Upstairs there are three double bedrooms and a generous family bathroom. The rear garden faces south-west, providing good afternoon and evening sun, and the wide frontage with ample driveway parking and a garage is rare for the area. Local convenience is strong: good schools nearby, shops at Park Langley, and easy access to Shortlands and Beckenham Junction stations.
The house does need renovation and modernisation: the property was built mid-century with assumed cavity wall construction and no added insulation, the double glazing install date is unknown, and the layout and finishes are dated in places. These are straightforward issues for a buyer planning to refurbish or extend — the size and plot offer room to create a larger, more energy-efficient home.
For families seeking space, a well-located garden and strong local schools, or buyers wanting a renovation project with scope to add value, this detached property is a rare proposition on Kenwood Drive. Practical positives like mains gas central heating, generous room sizes and excellent broadband/mobile reception support everyday living while work is carried out.
