Description

This semi-detached bungalow offers a blend of comfortable living and significant renovation potential, making it an appealing opportunity for both homeowners and investors. With two bedrooms, the property sits on a spacious plot that includes a mature rear garden and provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles. The exterior features a driveway accommodating two cars, ensuring convenience for residents and guests alike. The generous rear garden is primarily laid to lawn and adorned with established shrubs, creating a tranquil outdoor space that can be enhanced or redesigned according to personal taste. There is also ample scope for extension (subject to planning permission), which could increase the property's value while catering to a growing family's needs. Inside, the bungalow opens into a welcoming porch leading to an entrance hall that offers access to loft storage. The lounge serves as a cozy gathering spot, complete with a traditional feature fireplace, while adjacent spaces like the lean-to area provide additional versatility—ideal for creating a sunroom or extra living space. The kitchen is equipped with essential appliances and provides direct access to another lean-to that connects seamlessly with the garden. This configuration presents possibilities for further modernization or expansion. Both bedrooms are well-sized, featuring built-in storage solutions and natural light from double-glazed windows. The bathroom showcases functional fittings that could be modernized further without extensive renovations. Situated on the outskirts of Orpington, this property benefits from proximity to local amenities such as Nugent Park Shopping Centre as well as public transport options just minutes away. This location not only enhances everyday convenience but also adds long-term investment potential due to its desirable community setting. Please note that the sale of this property is subject to grant of probate. Additionally, there is a familial connection between the seller and an employee of Robinson Jackson.
