1920s character home with huge south garden, close to station and top schools.
Prime Knoll location, 0.3 miles to Orpington station
Set in the sought-after Knoll area, this 1926 detached family home combines 1930s character with practical family living. Four double bedrooms, three reception rooms and a modern kitchen with smart appliances give immediate, comfortable space for day-to-day life. The house occupies an approx. 0.23-acre plot with a private, south-facing garden extending to around 138ft — an exceptional outdoor asset for families and gardeners.
Location is a major draw: Orpington station is just 0.3 miles away with fast central London links, and the High Street, bus routes and a strong selection of primary and grammar schools (including St Olave’s and Newstead Wood) are all within easy reach. The carriage driveway and tandem garage provide off-street parking and storage in a prime residential setting with very low local crime.
The property has been extended over time and presents good scope for further improvement. Construction is solid-brick as built, and double glazing was installed before 2002; buyers should expect potential thermal and efficiency upgrades (insulation and window replacement) to modernise performance. Council tax is noted as quite expensive and there is a larger maintenance commitment typical of a period house of this size.
Offered chain free, the house will suit a growing family seeking space, character and a large private garden close to transport and top schools. It also offers refurbishment potential for buyers wanting to add value while retaining original features.
