This three-bedroom mid-terrace on Burrfield Drive offers straightforward family living with genuine scope for improvement. Arranged over two storeys and extending to 921 sqft, the house benefits from a long 80' rear garden, double glazing, and gas central heating. Its freehold, chain-free status makes it ready for a buyer who wants to move quickly or start a refurbishment project.
Practical potential is clear: many local properties have extended to the rear or into the loft, and there is scope to create an off-street driveway subject to planning permission (STPP). The layout provides two reception rooms, a functional kitchen, three bedrooms upstairs (two good doubles) plus a separate shower room and WC—suitable for a growing family or investors wanting rental income.
Location is a strong selling point — within walking distance of St. Mary Cray station, Nugent Shopping Centre and several well-rated primary and secondary schools. Transport links to the M25 and frequent bus routes add commuter convenience. Broadband and mobile signals are good, and on-street parking is generally ample.
Buyers should note material negatives: the area scores high on deprivation and is described locally as a hampered neighbourhood; crime levels are average. The house is structurally typical of the 1950–66 era with filled cavity walls and standard ceiling heights, and some internal areas (kitchen/utility) show dated fittings and will require modernisation. Prospective purchasers should budget for cosmetic updating and consider planning checks for extensions or driveway creation.
