Set back on a sought-after, tree-lined road in Kenley, this spacious five-bedroom detached house offers generous family accommodation across two floors. With a large lounge, separate dining room and an open-plan kitchen/diner, the layout suits daily family life and entertaining. The master bedroom includes a substantial en suite and built-in wardrobes; four further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the upstairs. Outside provides a large garden with split-level decking, a sweeping driveway and an electric double garage.
The house is offered chain free and has real potential for modernisation — some updating is needed throughout, and the property is dated in parts (1970s fittings, warm-air heating). The walls are cavity built with assumed no added insulation, glazing is double but of unknown age, and broadband speeds are slow. These factors should be considered when planning energy improvements and refurbishment budgets.
Location is a key strength: 0.5 miles to Kenley station for services to London Bridge and Victoria, immediate access to Kenley Common and popular local schools including Riddlesdown Collegiate and The Hayes. The plot size and parking for several cars plus a double garage make this a practical family base for commuters wanting green space close to transport links.
This property suits a family seeking space and long-term potential, or a buyer willing to invest in renovation to add modern comforts, energy efficiency and personalise living areas. Be aware of likely work needed on heating, insulation and interior finishes, and factor in higher council tax levels when assessing running costs.
