Large garden, garage and scope to extend on a desirable Beckenham road.
Four bedrooms with built-in wardrobes
Set on a wide plot on highly regarded Barnfield Wood Road, this 1930s detached home combines period character with generous family space. The welcoming reception room features a bay window and a feature fireplace; the adjoining dining room opens via French doors onto an extensive, landscaped 148' garden — a rare private outdoor asset for Beckenham. Four bedrooms, built-in wardrobes and a fitted kitchen with central island provide comfortable day-to-day living for a growing family.
Practical strengths include off-street parking, a 16' garage, fast broadband and proximity to several highly rated schools (including Langley Park and Harris Academy). The house is solidly built with double glazing and mains gas central heating, offering immediate usability and scope to personalise. There is clear potential to extend to the rear and into the loft (STPP) to create additional living space or an en-suite, increasing value and flexibility.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property currently has a single contemporary family bathroom plus a separate WC, an EPC rating of E, and council tax in Band G — all relevant for running costs. The walls are original solid brick (assumed uninsulated), so any energy-efficiency improvements will require retrofit work. Planning permission may be needed for extensions and is not included.
Overall, this is an attractive family home in an affluent, low-crime area with sizeable garden and expansion potential. It will most appeal to buyers wanting a characterful detached house in a top Beckenham location who are willing to invest in energy upgrades or a modest extension to unlock further space and value.
