This detached two-bedroom bungalow on Peel Road offers a rare blank canvas in a sought-after Orpington neighbourhood. Chain free and with planning consent already granted for a loft (hip-to-gable) and single-storey rear/front porch extensions, the house presents clear uplift potential to create a four-bedroom, three-bath home for a growing family.
Internally the layout is traditional and practical: a bay-front double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a bright reception room with a feature fireplace, an extended rear bedroom overlooking the garden, kitchen and dining/reception access to the outside, plus a three-piece bathroom. The property measures about 886 sq ft and retains period character but requires modernisation throughout.
Outside there is off-street parking, a driveway-accessed garage and a sizeable rear garden with lawn, mature shrubs and a terrace — good scope for landscaping or extension into the garden footprint. The house is solid-brick construction with double glazing (install date unknown) and mains gas central heating; insulation is assumed absent in the original walls, so energy upgrades will be needed.
This will suit buyers seeking a project with planning permission in place — families attracted by strong local schools and a comfortable neighbourhood, or investors/developers looking to add value. Key negatives: the property needs renovation, internal decor is dated, and thermal upgrading will be required to improve efficiency and comfort.
