Summary - 16 KENT ROAD ST MARY CRAY ORPINGTON BR5 4AD
1 bed 1 bath Terraced
Ready-to-move-in starter close to stations and local amenities.
One double bedroom; approx. 475 sq ft (compact living).
A compact, newly renovated one-bedroom terraced house set within a barn-style development in St Mary Cray. The interior benefits from an open-plan kitchen/living area, a modern fitted kitchen and a first-floor bathroom, making it ready to move into for a single buyer or couple. Practical features include a home ventilation system, gas central heating, double glazing and an allocated off-street parking space.
Positioned within walking distance of St Mary Cray station and local bus routes, the house suits commuters seeking affordable entry to the Orpington area. Nearby schools (several rated Good and one Outstanding) and local amenities add everyday convenience. The property’s freehold tenure and modest running costs (affordable council tax) strengthen its appeal as a first home or buy-to-let purchase.
Limitations are clear: the property is small (around 475 sq ft) with a compact garden and standard ceiling heights, so living space is limited. The area records above-average crime and wider neighbourhood deprivation, which should be weighed by buyers. The building’s solid-brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, so consider potential energy improvements despite the new glazing and ventilation system.
Guide price is £260,000 (note marketing range up to £295,000 in some materials). Overall, this is a practical, low-maintenance starter home or rental opportunity for someone prioritising location, modern finishes and commuter links over generous internal space.
