Chain-free and arranged over two floors, this four-bedroom detached house sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the popular High Firs area. The ground floor offers two reception rooms, a cloakroom, and a kitchen opening onto a generous, secluded rear garden — a practical layout for family life and entertaining. A large detached outbuilding (23'2" x 13'1") with separate access gives clear scope for a home office, hobby room or potential annexe (subject to planning).
Located a short drive or walk from Swanley mainline station (Oyster zone) with a roughly twenty-minute direct commute into central London, the property also benefits from easy road links to the M25/A20/A20 and local amenities including parks, leisure centre and nearby primary schools rated Good by Ofsted. Off-street parking and a garage provide useful storage and parking convenience.
The house is a mid-century build with double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. There is mention of cavity walls as built with no insulation assumed — buyers should factor possible thermal upgrades. The energy rating is TBC and council tax sits in an expensive band, so running costs may be higher than average.
This home suits a growing family seeking space and future potential in a quiet, well-connected neighbourhood. It will particularly appeal to buyers who value the outbuilding and garden and are willing to carry out cosmetic updates or targeted improvements (insulation, modernising kitchens/bathrooms) to unlock greater long-term value. Planning scope to extend (STPP) offers further upside for those wanting more living space.
