Description

This spacious four-bedroom end-terrace house presents a noteworthy opportunity for renovation and investment, situated on a generous corner plot within a peaceful cul-de-sac. Among its key features are a modern kitchen, an inviting lounge/dining area with dual aspects, and both a ground floor shower room and first floor bathroom. The property has retained original parquet flooring that could be restored under the current carpet, adding character to the home. One of the standout aspects of this property is the expansive loft area, accessible via a pull-down ladder, which offers significant potential for conversion into additional living space, subject to necessary planning permissions. The integral garage currently serves as a storage space but could be further developed to enhance usability or provide additional accommodations. The location is particularly advantageous; nestled on the edge of the sought-after Farnborough village, residents benefit from easy access to local bus services and Orpington station, facilitating direct trains into Central London. Proximity to everyday shopping amenities and diverse leisure options along Orpington High Street adds convenience to daily life. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the nearby countryside walks, while families can take advantage of several reputable schools in the area, including Farnborough Primary School and Newstead Wood. Outdoor spaces include a front garden offering off-street parking and a rear garden that extends around the side of the house, featuring lawn areas and a patio—ideal for outdoor relaxation or entertaining. With no onward chain, this property stands poised for transformation into a family home or an investment opportunity in a desirable location.
