Description

Presenting a captivating Grade II listed detached bungalow nestled behind gates in an idyllic village setting, this property combines historical charm with modern updates. While the home boasts some recent enhancements such as underfloor heating and new flooring, it awaits further renovation to fully realize its potential. This presents an attractive opportunity for buyers to customize the space to their specifications (subject to planning permission). Entering through a gated entrance with plentiful off-street parking, you'll find a sunroom that merges indoor comfort with outdoor views, ideal for both lounging and dining. The expansive living room features double aspect windows showcasing conservation land views, complete with an original fireplace that serves as a cozy gathering point. The kitchen comes equipped with fitted units and integrated appliances, while three spacious double bedrooms include a principal suite with an en-suite shower room. Notably, the main bathroom has been stripped out, providing a blank slate for creative redesign. Traditional elements like ceiling beams and picture rails add character throughout. The exterior of Orchard Lodge is equally impressive, featuring well-maintained gardens oriented towards the south-west with sweeping countryside vistas. Highlighted by a sunny courtyard suitable for outdoor dining and a 15ft heated swim spa, this space enhances its unique lifestyle appeal. With substantial possibilities for extension or reconfiguration (subject to planning), this property is perfectly positioned for those looking to create their dream home or an investment opportunity in a tranquil locale. Located in the semi-rural village of Pratts Bottom, residents benefit from nearby schools, local shops, and easy transport links including Chelsfield Station and access to the M25. This property promises not only comfort but also significant potential for enhancement—viewings are encouraged to explore its full scope.
