This elegant 1930s detached house offers about 1,200 sq ft of family living with period charm and modern updates. A recently refurbished, fully integrated kitchen/diner and bright reception rooms create comfortable spaces for everyday life and entertaining. The property is freehold and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal—useful for home working.
Outside, the landscaped rear garden (approximately 70ft by 31ft) is a standout: well maintained, private and suitable for play, dining and gardening. Off-street parking for two cars and a gated side entrance add convenience. Security is strong with a remote-access alarm system and four external CCTV cameras.
Location is a key asset: a 10-minute walk to St Mary Cray station, close to Nugent Shopping Park, local shops and regular bus routes. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, and nearby parks and woodland are minutes away—appealing for families who value green space and transport links.
Notable practical points are straightforward and should be considered: the house dates from the 1930s and has cavity walls with assumed no insulation, so energy efficiency may be lower than modern builds. There is one family bathroom for three bedrooms, council tax is above average, and the wider area shows higher crime statistics and local deprivation—factors buyers should weigh, particularly for long-term investment or if privacy and low-crime location are priorities. The loft offers storage and conversion potential subject to planning. Overall, the property combines period character, a modern kitchen and an attractive garden, best suited to families seeking space near good schools and commuter links.
