Summary - 41, MADEIRA AVENUE, BROMLEY BR1 4AP
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Large private SW garden, garage and scope to modernise in Shortlands.
Three well‑proportioned bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms
This detached 1950s family home sits on a large, highly secluded south-westerly garden of approximately 78ft — a rare private plot in the heart of Shortlands. The house offers three well‑proportioned bedrooms, two bathrooms, two separate reception rooms and a practical kitchen with walk‑in larder plus a separate utility room. Large sliding doors from the lounge open onto a covered veranda that faces the mature garden, ideal for family life and outdoor entertaining.
Built and updated in stages, much of the interior is mechanically sound but shows styling from earlier decades. The first‑floor bathroom retains a retro avocado four‑piece suite; parts of the living spaces would benefit from sympathetic modernisation to suit contemporary tastes. There is obvious scope to extend or reconfigure subject to planning if you need more living space or wish to create an open‑plan kitchen/dining family area.
Practical features include an attached garage with loft storage, block‑paved driveway for off‑street parking, double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Transport links are convenient — both Ravensbourne and Shortlands stations are within easy reach for commutes into central London. Local schools, shops and green spaces such as Beckenham Place Park are all nearby, making this a comfortable family location.
A freehold, traditionally constructed home on a very private plot, this property will particularly appeal to families seeking outdoor space and scope to personalise. Be candid about the need for some updating and the relatively high council tax band when budgeting; otherwise this is a solid, spacious home in a quiet, well‑connected neighbourhood.
