Set on a sought-after Petts Wood road, this extended 1930s semi delivers spacious family living with practical commuter links. The ground floor opens to a versatile reception and an airy open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with bi-fold doors onto an approximately 87ft rear garden — a strong layout for family life and entertaining. A separate front reception and an office/ground-floor bedroom add flexibility.
Upstairs are four good-sized bedrooms and a single family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from a feature bay and fitted wardrobes. The house totals about 1,388 sq ft, has a garage and long driveway parking, and sits within easy reach of Petts Wood mainline station and several highly regarded local schools, making it a convenient choice for commuters and growing families.
The property is well presented but not without considerations: there is a single bathroom for four bedrooms, likely solid-brick walls with assumed limited cavity insulation, and double glazing of unknown age. Council tax is noted as expensive. These points present clear upgrade opportunities (insulation, bathroom addition/modernisation) that could improve comfort and long-term running costs.
Overall this freehold family home combines period character and a strong layout in an affluent, low-crime neighbourhood. It will suit buyers seeking immediate family accommodation with scope to modernise and extend (subject to planning), while appreciating excellent schools and fast transport links into London.
