Summary - 19, VERNON CLOSE, ORPINGTON BR5 3AS
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached Bungalow
Rear-extended two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow, chain-free
A rear-extended two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow on a decent plot in a quiet Orpington close, offered chain-free and with scope to extend further (subject to planning). The long lounge/diner opens to a private 54ft rear garden and patio, while off-street parking and a side/rear garage add useful storage and parking. Broadband and mobile signal are strong; local shops, schools and St Mary Cray station are within easy reach.
The property requires modernisation throughout — the price reflects refurbishment needs. Walls are cavity-built with no assumed cavity insulation; buyers should allow budget for thermal upgrades and typical mid-century improvements (kitchen/bathroom refresh, redecoration, possible heating or boiler works). Crime in the area is above average, which potential purchasers may wish to consider when assessing security and insurance costs.
For families or downsizers seeking single-storey living with extension potential, this bungalow offers a straightforward project and immediate occupation thanks to no forward chain. Investors or buyers planning to modernise can add value by updating interiors and improving energy efficiency, subject to planning for any lateral extensions.
