Description

This four-bedroom semi-detached home presents a unique chance for buyers looking to invest in a property with great potential. Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac on Hood Avenue, Orpington, this chain-free residence offers the perfect canvas for those aiming to customize their living space. The extended layout spans two floors, providing ample room for family life or a home office setup. As you enter through the enclosed porch into the practical hallway, you will find a spacious 28' lounge/dining area that benefits from natural light thanks to its dual-aspect windows. The kitchen is functional and comes equipped with various fitted units and integrated appliances, yet it does require updating. This space could be transformed into an expansive kitchen/diner by exploring options to extend (subject to planning permission). Upstairs hosts four generously sized bedrooms that feature double glazing and central heating, ideal for modern family needs. The bathroom, complete with shower over bath, alongside an additional separate WC adds convenience. The property is in need of comprehensive modernization throughout, making it an exciting opportunity for buyers wanting to add their personal touch and value. Additionally, the garage provides significant conversion possibilities (subject to planning), whether transforming it into a dedicated workspace or recreational area. Outside, the private rear garden measures 46 feet and includes a mix of lawn and patio spaces, while off-street parking is available at the front. Located conveniently near St Mary Cray Station and local amenities such as Nugent Shopping Centre and Orpington High Street, this property offers both accessibility and community appeal.
