Located just a short distance from both Chelsfield Village and Orpington town center, the property enjoys the benefits of a tranquil setting while remaining conveniently close to essential amenities. The home showcases a spacious living area that invites natural light, along with a kitchen breakfast room that offers potential for modernization to enhance functionality. Each of the two generously sized double bedrooms provides ample space, making it easy to reconfigure the layout to fit personal preferences. The family bathroom, while well-maintained, also offers opportunities for updates.
