A spacious 1930s three-bedroom detached house, offered chain free with planning permission granted for side, rear and loft extensions. The current layout provides bright, well-proportioned reception rooms, an open-plan kitchen, and a secluded c.70ft rear garden — a strong base for a growing family or buyers seeking extension potential. The property includes an integral garage and a large block-paved driveway with ample parking.
Location is a clear strength: the house sits within easy reach of Petts Wood and Orpington mainline stations and several Ofsted-rated outstanding primary and selective secondary schools, making daily commutes and school runs straightforward. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and the neighbourhood is very low crime and very affluent.
Practical considerations: the house was built in the 1930s with solid brick walls (no known modern wall insulation) and double glazing of unknown install date. Council tax is described as quite expensive. While the interior is well presented, buyers should budget for updating where desired and for costs tied to the approved extensions if they proceed.
Overall this is a large, flexible family home in a sought-after location. The existing planning permission adds tangible value for buyers wanting to increase living space and resale potential. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the space, garden, and extension possibilities firsthand.
