Description

Nestled in a serene residential area between Beckenham and Bromley, this charming 1930s family residence presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with significant renovation potential. The standout feature is the expansive quarter-acre plot, offering direct access to the River Ravensbourne and picturesque views over the local golf course, providing an attractive backdrop for outdoor enhancements. With approximately 1,400 square feet of living space alongside an additional 720 square feet of versatile outbuildings—including a large log cabin functioning as an office/gym, a summer house, and a greenhouse-style garden room—this property could be transformed into a multi-functional haven. Notably, there’s also a converted WW2 air raid shelter that serves as a wine cellar, adding character and history to this offering. The interior has been updated to reflect modern tastes with period hall tiling and oak flooring throughout the ground floor. It currently features three bedrooms, two equipped with built-in wardrobes, along with two bathrooms. The approved planning for a loft extension allows for further expansion of living areas or bedrooms, making this home even more appealing for future growth. The meticulously landscaped garden is another highlight, ensuring plenty of sunlight while featuring mature fruit trees and extensive patio space ideal for entertaining. The recent development of off-street parking via a resin-bonded driveway adds convenience. With local amenities like schools, parks, and transport links within easy reach, this property promises not only comfort but also long-term investment value. This opportunity invites buyers to consider light cosmetic refurbishments or larger-scale projects depending on their vision—and truly make it their own.
