Summary - 74, MAYS HILL ROAD BR2 0HT
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Secluded large plot with garage and short walk to Shortlands station.
Generous secluded plot with mature trees and paved rear terrace
Set back on a generous, secluded plot, this c.1900 semi‑detached cottage brings genuine period character and scope to create a modern family home. Original features include arched sash windows, cast‑iron fireplaces, wood flooring and a wrought‑iron spiral staircase that give the property charm and personality.
The layout comprises two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, guest WC and three first‑floor bedrooms (the third a compact single) served by a shower room. A long gravel driveway leads to a large single garage with light and power, providing convenient off‑street parking and storage. The grounds extend to about 80' and offer privacy, mature trees and a paved terrace ideal for entertaining or family use.
Practical issues are clear and priced accordingly: the house requires updating throughout and would benefit from improved insulation (solid brick walls), an EPC currently rated E, and modernisation of kitchen and bathroom fittings. There is a medium flood risk noted for the area and only one shower room, which may influence refurbishment plans.
Location is a strong selling point for families: it’s a short walk to Shortlands station, very near several highly rated primary schools, and within easy reach of Bromley town centre and green spaces. Offered chain free on freehold tenure, the property suits buyers seeking a character home with scope for remodelling or extension (subject to consents) to add value and living space.
