Four double bedrooms with large principal reception rooms
This well-proportioned four-bedroom detached house on The Birches offers spacious family living with a long, secluded rear garden and substantial off-street parking including a detached double garage. Ground floor reception space includes an impressive 21ft lounge, separate dining room and practical kitchen; there is also a downstairs cloakroom. Upstairs provides four double bedrooms served by a single contemporary family bathroom.
The plot is a major selling point: a large frontage, wide block-paved driveway and an approximately 187ft rear garden that provides genuine scope for extension (subject to planning permission). The property sits within the sought-after Darrick Wood school catchment and is within walking distance of Locksbottom village amenities, with good access to Orpington and Bromley mainline stations.
Buyers should note some material facts plainly: the house dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s, so prospective purchasers may wish to budget for updating or modernisation over time. There is a single family bathroom for four bedrooms which could be limiting for larger families. Tenure details are not provided and should be confirmed. Crime levels in the immediate area are recorded as above average.
Overall this home will suit a growing family seeking generous spaces, excellent local schools and scope to add value through extension or targeted refurbishment. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern working-from-home needs, while the large plot and garage offer practical everyday parking and storage.
