First time on the market since 1968, this 1930s detached home sits on a generous plot in a sought-after Orpington street. The property offers a large east-facing rear garden (approx. 185ft x 60ft), an attached double garage, private driveway and good scope to extend (subject to planning), making it attractive for growing families or buyers seeking refurbishment potential.
Internally there are two reception rooms, a conservatory, study/ground-floor fourth bedroom with en-suite, and three first-floor bedrooms served by a family bathroom. Original period features and a mid-century living room fireplace provide character; many rooms would benefit from modernisation to create a contemporary family layout.
Practical details are favourable: freehold tenure, chain-free sale, double glazing fitted post-2002, mains gas central heating and fast broadband. The location scores highly for schools (several outstanding nearby) and access — Orpington mainline and Petts Wood amenities are close by.
Buyers should note some material points: the house appears to be solid-brick construction with no cavity insulation assumed, décor and fixtures are dated in places, and any extension or redevelopment will require planning consent. Those seeking a move-in-perfect, fully modernised home may face renovation costs; however, the plot size and position offer clear long-term value.
