Description

Set on a generous plot in the tranquil area of Downe, this extended four-bedroom semi-detached residence offers a promising opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with substantial renovation potential. The home is in need of comprehensive modernisation, allowing buyers to personalize and enhance its already spacious layout. The ground floor features a welcoming entrance hall that opens into a bright dining/sitting room—perfect for family gatherings and entertaining. The kitchen overlooks the sizeable rear garden and provides direct access outside, complemented by a convenient ground floor shower room. A lean-to adds useful storage space while leading to the attached garage, which currently offers secure parking but could be converted into additional living space (subject to planning permissions). Upstairs, the property houses four generously sized bedrooms, making it ideal for families. A family bathroom and separate WC enhance functionality on this level—a necessity for busy households. Notably, the substantial attached garage could also serve as workshop space or be repurposed for further extension opportunities (pending necessary consents). The expansive rear garden measures approximately 52ft, offering ample room for children to play or for keen gardeners and outdoor entertainers alike. Conveniently located, this property combines the charm of semi-rural living with proximity to local amenities, well-regarded schools, scenic countryside walks, and transport links into Orpington and beyond. This is an exceptional chance to acquire a spacious family home brimming with potential in one of the region's most sought-after locales.
