Description

This spacious four-bedroom detached home, built in the 1930s, presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and expansion. With potential for side and rear extensions (subject to planning permission), this property allows for creative customization to suit modern living needs while retaining its classic charm. The ground floor features a welcoming hallway with under-stair storage and a large store room, in addition to a convenient shower room. The front reception room benefits from a bay window that fills the space with natural light and showcases a traditional fireplace. This area flows into a generously sized rear reception room, which is enhanced by high side windows and full-width sliding patio doors leading to the garden. The kitchen/diner is equipped with sleek white gloss cabinetry and built-in appliances, providing ample storage solutions and views of the garden. A new boiler was installed in November 2024, adding to the property's maintenance appeal. Upstairs, the first floor consists of four well-proportioned double bedrooms; the master includes built-in wardrobes for added convenience. Two bathrooms on this level offer practical amenities for family living. Outside, the detached garage has been repurposed into two office rooms, allowing flexibility for various uses—ideal for those seeking a work-from-home solution or additional storage. The rear garden extends approximately 100 feet and is primarily laid to lawn with mature shrubs creating privacy. A paved patio area at the back provides an inviting outdoor space for gatherings or relaxation. At the front, a long paved driveway offers sufficient off-road parking while keeping the property set back from the road. Located near Petts Wood village, this home benefits from easy access to local shops, cafes, and restaurants as well as a mainline train station offering quick connections to central London. Nearby transport links include access to the A20 and M25, along with multiple bus routes enhancing connectivity. In summary, this property combines original features with significant renovation potential in an attractive neighborhood—making it an ideal investment opportunity for those looking to create their dream family home or capitalize on its value through thoughtful updates and extensions. Internal viewings are encouraged to fully appreciate its possibilities.
