Description

This semi-detached two-bedroom house, available for the first time in around 70 years, presents an exciting opportunity for renovation and investment. Originally constructed as a family home, it is clear that this property has been cherished over the decades. However, it now requires extensive modernisation, making it a blank slate for buyers wishing to stamp their identity on the space. The ground floor features a living and dining area alongside a kitchen while the upper floor includes two bedrooms plus a bathroom and separate W.C. Notably, there’s potential to convert part of the first floor into a small third bedroom by reconfiguring the layout, as similar alterations have been seen in neighbouring homes. With an approximately 60ft south-facing garden that combines both patio and traditional lawn areas, outdoor expansion or improvements are also feasible. Furthermore, subject to planning permissions, extensions such as single-storey expansions or loft conversions are possibilities worth considering based on local precedents. The property's location on Manning Road offers convenient access to St. Mary Cray Station (approximately 0.7 miles), allowing for efficient transport into central London. Residents can also enjoy proximity to Nugent Shopping Park with its array of shops and eateries, along with access to reputable local schools like Manor Oak Primary School and Harris Academy. The green spaces nearby further enhance the appeal for families and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
