Description

This three-bedroom cottage, steeped in character and historical charm from its circa 1900 origins, presents a rare opportunity for renovation in a highly desirable area. Nestled among a quaint row of timber-framed homes, the property features a cozy lounge with an exposed brick chimney and wood-burning stove, enriching its period appeal. The kitchen/dining space, with French doors leading to the garden, offers potential for modern updates while maintaining the cottage's original character. An expansive family bathroom and practical downstairs WC add convenience to the layout. The property is conveniently located just a short stroll from Locksbottom's vibrant selection of shops, cafes, and restaurants. It also benefits from excellent transport connections to Orpington and Bromley, facilitating easy access to central London. Additionally, it is close to local schools and recreational areas such as High Elms Country Park. Outside, the approximately 25ft garden provides a low-maintenance outdoor space with ample potential for landscaping or enhancement. The single garage adds further functionality, making this cottage an ideal candidate for refurbishment dedicated to personal style and comfort. This home can be transformed into a splendid residence that reflects both modern living and traditional aesthetic.
