This detached three-bedroom bungalow on May Avenue offers single-storey living with a mature rear garden and useful workshop — ideal for families wanting ground-floor convenience and scope to improve. The lounge opens into a conservatory, and a modern fitted kitchen and contemporary shower room provide move-in-ready basics. At around 854 sq ft the layout is traditional, with the option to use one bedroom as a second reception room.
Practical strengths include off-street parking, double glazing, mains gas central heating and a large plot with potential to extend (subject to planning permission). St Mary Cray train station is approximately 0.4 miles away, providing regular services into London and Kent, while local schools and retail parks are within easy reach.
Buyers should note clear drawbacks: the property sits in an area with higher crime levels and relative deprivation, which may affect resale and insurance. The house is a mid-20th-century solid brick build and likely lacks cavity wall insulation, so energy efficiency improvements could be needed. There is a single shower room for three bedrooms.
For a family or buyer wanting a renovation project with practical benefits, this bungalow offers straightforward potential — extend (STPP), upgrade insulation and modernise services to add value and comfort. The guide price reflects the mix of ready-to-live-in features and scope for improvement and extension.
