Summary - 2 Quiet Nook BR2 8HR
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious period home with extensive private woodland plot, ready for modernisation.
Private road setting with almost-countryside privacy
Set on a private road in Keston, this early-1800s semi-detached cottage offers a rare mix of period character and generous outside space ideal for a growing family. The house provides two double bedrooms, spacious first-floor bathroom and a split-level lounge and dining arrangement that retains cottage charm while offering flexible living. A double-glazed conservatory and fitted kitchen increase everyday practicality. The current owner has lived here for over 45 years, reflecting the property's long-term appeal and private, almost-countryside setting.
The property sits on a decent plot with an additional private wooded garden area immediately opposite, approximately 150ft x 50ft — a standout feature for families, gardeners or anyone seeking outdoor privacy. Local schools rated Good to Outstanding are close by, and bus routes link the location to surrounding areas, supporting everyday convenience without urban noise.
Buyers should be aware of trade-offs typical of a property of this age. Built before 1900 with solid brick walls and no known insulation, the house is likely less energy efficient than modern builds. The double glazing is present but the install date is unknown. There is one main bathroom and a modest room count (approx. five rooms), so space planning may be needed for some families. Overall the house presents clear upgrade potential for those willing to invest in insulation, modern services, or interior refurbishment to improve comfort and running costs.
Freehold tenure, mains gas heating via boiler and radiators, no flood risk and fast broadband add practical value. Council tax is moderate. This is a characterful home that rewards sympathetic updating and will especially suit buyers seeking privacy, outside space and proximity to strong local schools.
