Set on a pleasant 1930s street in Orpington, this semi‑detached home offers flexible living for a growing family. Two reception rooms and an open-plan dining area give downstairs space for play, homework and everyday life, while a modern fitted kitchen and a well‑finished first‑floor bathroom reduce immediate work for the new owners. The rear garden and off‑street parking add practical family comforts.
The property retains period character—bay windows and solid brick walls—paired with contemporary touches such as a modern kitchen and updated bathroom. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, helpful for home working and streaming. St Mary Cray mainline station and local bus routes are easy to reach, and nearby schools include Midfield Primary (Outstanding) and Gray’s Farm Primary Academy (Good).
Be aware of a few material points: the house has only one bathroom and cloakroom, glazing was installed before 2002, and brick walls are likely uninsulated which can affect heating efficiency. Crime in the immediate area is above average; buyers should factor this into their choice of neighbourhood and security measures.
Overall this freehold, three‑bedroom semi is well suited to families wanting space and convenience in a popular residential area. It presents a comfortable move‑in option with some longer‑term improvement potential around insulation and glazing to improve energy efficiency and running costs.
