Summary - Briar Lane, BR4 BR4 9RA
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Backs onto woodland with garage, extension potential and strong local schools.
Four double bedrooms with main en suite
Set on a quiet cul-de-sac and backing onto Threehalfpenny Wood, this substantial four-bedroom detached house offers generous internal space and family-friendly gardens. The ground floor provides three reception rooms plus a separate utility and downstairs WC, giving flexible layouts for home working, play or living. A large double garage and driveway parking add practical appeal for families.
The main bedroom features an en suite and there are three further bedrooms upstairs with a family bathroom. The property is presented in a traditional 1950s–60s style and benefits from double glazing and warm air mains gas heating, but the kitchen and bathrooms would benefit from a modern refurbishment to unlock the house’s full potential. There is clear scope to extend at the rear subject to planning permission (STPP).
Outside, the mature lawned garden extends almost 20m and directly adjoins woodland, creating a private, peaceful setting ideal for children and outdoor entertaining. The freehold location sits in a very low-crime, affluent area with several well-regarded state schools within reach and regular Southeastern trains from West Wickham to central London.
Buyers should note a few practical drawbacks: broadband speeds are slow locally, cavity walls appear uninsulated (likely increasing heating costs), the warm-air heating system is dated, and council tax is relatively high. These are tangible considerations if you plan major works or want instant modern convenience, but they also represent opportunities to add value with targeted upgrades.
