Set on a quiet South Welling road, this five-bedroom semi-detached home combines generous living space with clear family appeal. Three reception rooms and a rear balcony extend everyday living, while off-street parking and a manageable rear garden suit school runs and active family life. The property is freehold and close to good and outstanding local schools, shops and Welling mainline station — useful for commuters.
The house dates from the 1930s–1940s and has been modernised in parts, including double glazing and updated living areas. Main heating is a mains-gas boiler with radiators, and broadband and mobile signal are strong — practical details for a busy household. Two bathrooms plus an extra separate WC help reduce morning congestion.
Important practical points: the walls are original solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, and the double glazing install date is unknown, so buyers should consider thermal upgrade costs. Council tax is above average for the area. The plot and overall property footprint are described as small, so outdoor space is tidy rather than expansive.
This home will suit growing families seeking good local schools and transport links who are prepared to carry out targeted upgrading for improved energy efficiency. It also offers scope to rework some rooms or add value through thoughtful refurbishment, balancing immediate liveability with future potential.
