Description

Nestled on a charming, tree-lined street, this three-bedroom semi-detached house presents a remarkable opportunity for renovation and investment. With proximity to Petts Wood high street, the location combines suburban tranquility with convenient access to local amenities. Crest View Drive offers a well-proportioned layout that allows for personal customization. The ground floor features a welcoming living room that sets the tone for relaxed family gatherings, while an expansive kitchen/breakfast area provides ample space for culinary endeavors. The rear reception room overlooks the garden and serves as an ideal dining space, perfect for entertaining or enjoying quiet meals. Upstairs, two generously sized double bedrooms await, one equipped with built-in storage to maximize functionality. A third bedroom and a family bathroom complete the upper level, offering a solid foundation that can be enhanced through thoughtful renovations. The property boasts a substantial rear garden, characterized by mature plantings along one side that add character and privacy. An outhouse stretches along much of the garden's length, currently outfitted with electricity and plumbing; it has been utilized as a business space by the current owner but holds potential for various uses pending appropriate permissions. At the far end of the garden lies another outhouse with electrical connections, currently functioning as a workshop and storage area—ideal for hobbyists or additional workspaces. This residence is strategically positioned just 0.4 miles from Petts Wood Station, ensuring quick commuter access to central London. Families will appreciate being close to reputable local schools such as Crofton Schools (0.9 miles) and St James School (0.1 miles), further enhancing its appeal as both a home and an investment opportunity with strong future potential.
