Description

This spacious detached home, featuring four generously sized double bedrooms, presents a significant opportunity for renovation and investment. The property, built in the 1920s, has been cherished by the same family for nearly five decades and retains much of its original character. While it has been well-maintained over the years, there is ample scope for modernization to bring it in line with contemporary preferences and standards. Situated on a substantial plot with an impressive 153-foot rear garden, the outdoor space offers immense potential for landscaping or expansion. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn, creating an inviting area for families or those looking to enhance their outdoor living experience. Additionally, a detached tandem garage provides practical storage options or could serve as a workshop. The home's location is another key feature. Just 0.7 miles from Orpington station, commuting into London is convenient with fast rail services available. Families will appreciate being within easy reach of several well-regarded schools, including Darrick Wood School at just 0.6 miles away, along with Crofton and Tubbenden primary schools. The local amenities found in Locksbottom and Orpington High Street cater to everyday needs and offer various shopping options. Inside, the layout comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading to a triple-aspect sitting room that floods with natural light and a separate dining room that presents an ideal setting for family gatherings. The kitchen adjoins a breakfast room at the rear of the property, presenting an opportunity to create an open-plan living space if desired. Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms that provide versatility for family living or potential remodeling into additional bathrooms or office spaces as required by modern lifestyles. The property also includes a bathroom and separate WC on this level. With its blend of character features and significant potential for enhancement, this property represents an excellent investment opportunity in a sought-after area that combines convenience and accessibility with a strong sense of community living.
