Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached property presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment in the desirable 'Knoll' area of Orpington. Located on a well-connected road, this home is conveniently just a short walk from both Orpington Station and the vibrant High Street, making it ideal for commuters seeking easy access to London. The accommodation includes an entrance porch leading to a hallway, a lounge featuring a gas fireplace, and a dining room with double glazed sliding doors that open to the rear garden. The kitchen offers ample potential for updates, with space for modern appliances and an appealing layout that could be enhanced to suit contemporary living standards. On the upper floor, you will find three bedrooms—two of which are generously sized and benefit from fitted wardrobes. The bathroom includes a bath with a shower attachment, alongside a separate WC, providing functional spaces that could be improved during renovations. Externally, the property boasts substantial gardens both at the front and back, as well as a side garden that increases the outdoor area. The presence of a garage provides additional storage or potential for conversion (subject to planning permission). There is also off-street parking available at the front. Given its location and layout, this property holds significant investment potential.
