Set on a popular Southborough Lane road, this 1930s semi-detached home offers a practical family layout and a large rear garden with direct park access. The property already provides two good double bedrooms, a single third bedroom, two reception rooms and a garage with off-street parking — a solid base for a growing household. Petts Wood station and frequent buses make commuting into The City straightforward.
The house has clear scope to extend to the rear (subject to planning permission), which would create a generous open-plan kitchen/dining space and add long-term value. For buyers keen to personalise, the home presents an opportunity to renovate throughout and reconfigure living areas to modern family standards.
Important practical notes: the property needs renovation, has an EPC rating of D, original solid-brick walls likely without insulation, and double glazing installed before 2002. There is a single family bathroom and the tenure is not specified. These factors should be considered for budgeting works and potential energy improvements.
For families prioritising schools and transport, this location excels — highly regarded primaries and an independent secondary are within easy reach. Buyers wanting a project with upside will appreciate the plot size, garage and straightforward extension potential.
