Victorian semi with modern kitchen, garden and good schools nearby.
Three double bedrooms plus loft room with Velux window
This attractive three-bedroom Victorian semi sits on a quiet cul-de-sac in Orpington, a short walk from Locksbottom shops, local buses and well-regarded schools. The house combines period character — a sash-style front, decorative fireplace and log burner — with a modern open-plan kitchen and dining area that opens onto a cottage-style garden, making it well suited to family life.
Accommodation is arranged over two main floors with an additional loft room. The ground floor offers a front living room, modern kitchen with stone worktops and integrated appliances, and a dining/family area that flows to the rear garden. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a loft bedroom with a Velux window; the loft has diminished head height but clear potential for a dormer extension subject to approval.
Practical points to note: the house is freehold, has recently installed double glazing, gas central heating via boiler and radiators, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The plot is small, with a modest gravel forecourt providing on‑plot parking and a compact rear garden — good for low-maintenance outdoor living but limited for large extensions. The property has solid brick walls (assumed no cavity insulation) so thermal improvements may be possible and would raise efficiency.
Buyers should also be aware of a single family bathroom and some restricted headroom in the loft room. The local area is described as very affluent but records show above-average crime locally, so buyers may wish to check community safety measures. Overall this is a characterful, well-presented family home with immediate move-in appeal and scope to add value through sensitive loft or insulation upgrades.
