Description

This two-bedroom semi-detached property presents a compelling opportunity for investors and renovators alike, with significant potential for refurbishment and extension (subject to securing necessary planning permissions). Located conveniently within walking distance of local amenities, the home is surrounded by properties that have successfully undergone similar modifications, making it ideal for those looking to enhance their investment. The current layout includes an entrance hall leading to a lounge, a kitchen/dining area, and a ground floor WC. On the upper level, there are two spacious bedrooms — particularly noteworthy is the principal bedroom, which has ample size and could potentially be subdivided to create a third bedroom. The family bathroom and an additional separate WC round out the first floor. Outside, you will find a private rear garden alongside a driveway that accommodates off-street parking for multiple vehicles. While the property requires full refurbishment throughout, this has been reflected in its asking price, providing an excellent canvas for buyers wanting to customize their future home. The location further enhances its appeal, with nearby access to schools, shops, public transportation options including St. Mary Cray mainline station. Viewing is highly encouraged to fully grasp the potential this property holds for transformation into a modern residence.
