Chain free freehold 1930s mid-terrace with large plot.

Set directly opposite Beckenham Junction, this 1930s mid-terrace combines commuter convenience with family-focused space. The house offers three bedrooms, two reception rooms and private rear parking with two garages — rare for the area — making it practical for growing families or buyers wanting secure off-street parking.
The property is chain free and sits within strong school catchments, including several Outstanding-rated primaries and secondaries. Internally the layout is traditional and usable now, but the house needs updating: décor and kitchen/bathroom fittings are dated and there is scope to modernise and reconfigure to add value. The home has double glazing and mains gas central heating, but the solid-brick walls likely lack modern cavity insulation and the EPC is currently D.
Practical considerations are stated plainly: there is a single bathroom for three bedrooms, the property requires modernisation in places, and local crime statistics are very high — relevant for purchasers weighing security and lifestyle. On the positive side the plot is very large for a terraced home, broadband and mobile signals are strong, and all principal transport links from Beckenham Junction provide fast routes into central London.
This would suit a family or commuter who values location, parking and schools and is prepared to invest in upgrades to unlock the house’s full potential. For an investor or buyer seeking a ready-made turnkey home, some renovation will be needed to reach modern standards and improve energy efficiency.
