A well-proportioned four-bedroom detached Wates Dormy home set on a large suburban plot in sought-after Lovibonds Avenue. The house has been a much-loved family residence since 1982 and offers flexible accommodation across two storeys — large reception rooms, a fitted kitchen and a ground-floor bedroom with en-suite shower. Double glazing and mains gas warm-air heating are already in place.
The property is chain free and convenient for excellent local schools (Darrick Wood, Newstead Wood), shops, buses and Orpington station with fast links to central London. The rear garden is private and bordered by mature planting; the front provides a driveway and detached garage for off-street parking.
There is clear potential to modernise, reconfigure or extend (subject to planning permission) to increase living space and value. Some internal areas and fittings are dated and will benefit from updating — buyers should budget for refurbishment to bring the property fully up to modern standards. Note: double glazing installed pre-2002 and the heating is warm-air, which may influence retrofit choices.
Practical considerations: the property sits in a medium flood-risk zone and council tax is described as quite expensive. Prospective purchasers are advised to commission a survey and check planning and flood-risk documents before committing.
