Summary - Alexandra Crescent BR1 4ET
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Large family home with period charm, big garden and garage near top schools.
Five double bedrooms across approximately 3,000 sq ft
This substantial double-fronted 1930s detached house in Alexandra Crescent delivers nearly 3,000 sq ft of flexible family space across well-proportioned reception rooms and five bedrooms. The property’s period features — bay windows, coving, hardwood floors and an open fireplace — give strong character, while a large south‑west facing rear garden and separate garden room extend entertaining and family living outdoors. A private garage and gated driveway provide useful parking in this desirable Bromley setting.
Practical strengths include mains gas central heating, double glazing, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — conveniences for modern family life. The location suits commuters with frequent bus routes and several highly regarded primary and secondary schools within easy reach, making the home attractive to growing families.
Notable items to consider: the house was built in the 1930s with solid brick walls that appear uninsulated, so energy efficiency may be poor and insulation upgrades are likely needed. There are only two bathrooms for five bedrooms, which could require reconfiguration or an extension for some buyers. Council tax is described as quite expensive and the wider area shows pockets of deprivation — factors to weigh alongside the property’s size and potential.
Overall this is a characterful, substantial family home with strong scope for updating and improvement. It will particularly suit buyers seeking space, school access and outdoor living, and who are prepared to invest in insulation, bathroom provision and cosmetic modernisation to unlock the property’s full potential.
