Description

This appealing bay-fronted residence presents an excellent opportunity for those wishing to infuse their personal touch into a property. While the home requires modernization, its structure and layout provide promising potential for expansion (subject to planning permission). Currently chain free, this property features a rear garden primarily grassed with some shrubs and a patio area, along with a potting shed for gardening enthusiasts. The front driveway offers off-road parking leading to a functional garage measuring 17'8 x 8'4 with an up-and-over door. Located conveniently near Locksbottom and Crofton amenities, the property benefits from proximity to Orpington Station and various bus routes, as well as esteemed local schools including Crofton, Darrick Wood, and Newstead Wood. Note that sale is subject to probate approval. The interior includes an entrance hall with steps leading up, and various reception spaces including a lounge with double glazed bay window that flows into a dining area. A conservatory accessible from the dining room invites natural light and provides direct access to the garden. The kitchen is equipped with wall and base units but would benefit from updating. Upstairs features three bedrooms, all with fitted carpets and ample storage options, alongside a bathroom needing refurbishment and a separate WC.
