Summary - 168, POVEREST ROAD, ORPINGTON, PETTS WOOD BR5 1GU
3 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Single‑storey family home on a large plot with garage and off‑street parking.
Detached bungalow on a large plot, approx. 1,427 sq ft
Set on a large plot in sought-after Petts Wood, this detached three-bedroom bungalow offers a spacious, single-storey layout that will particularly suit families and downsizers seeking easy living. At approximately 1,427 sq ft the home features two reception rooms, a conservatory, a sizeable kitchen and garden-facing living space that brings in good natural light. The attached garage and off‑street parking add practical family convenience.
The property is freehold, double-glazed (upgraded post‑2002) and heated by a mains‑gas boiler and radiators, with no local flood risk. Local schools include good-rated options such as Poverest Primary and Coopers School, and the neighbourhood is affluent with low crime and fast broadband — useful for home working and family life.
There are some material considerations to note. The house sits on solid brick walls from an early 20th‑century build with no built‑in wall insulation assumed; upgrading insulation and some modernisation works would improve comfort and running costs. The accommodation includes one main bathroom plus a separate WC, which may be limiting for larger households. Council Tax Band F reflects higher ongoing costs.
Overall this bungalow presents a comfortable, versatile single-level home with strong scope for improvement: sensible for buyers who want a spacious plot and are prepared to invest in energy and interior upgrades to personalise the property.
