Summary - 50 SOMERDEN ROAD ORPINGTON BR5 4HT
4 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Quiet road, good schools and station links—family-friendly with scope to improve.
Rear extension and loft conversion increase usable accommodation
This four-bedroom, semi-detached chalet house on a quiet Orpington road offers flexible family accommodation with practical benefits. A rear extension and loft conversion increase usable space, giving a large 21'11" lounge/diner, three ground-floor bedrooms and a further first-floor bedroom (partially restricted headroom). The south-facing rear garden and garage with parking add outdoor space and convenience.
Well placed for families, the property sits near good primary and secondary schools and is within easy reach of St. Mary Cray station and local bus routes. The neighbourhood is affluent with very low crime and fast broadband, supporting comfortable everyday living and potential for commuter convenience.
There is scope to modernise and add value: the house is solid-brick (original construction 1930–1949) with double glazing and mains gas central heating, but wall insulation is assumed absent and energy performance can be improved. The home has one bathroom serving four bedrooms and the first-floor room has restricted headroom — factors to consider for larger families.
Practical notes: the garage is accessed via Axtaine Close, and on-street parking is ample; creating a front driveway may be possible subject to permissions. Overall, this is a mid-sized family home that will suit buyers seeking a ready-to-live-in property with sensible improvement potential rather than a turnkey modern remodel.
