Description

This semi-detached two-bedroom house is being offered for sale for the first time in about 70 years, presenting a rare opportunity for purchasers seeking a property with substantial renovation potential. Historically a cherished family residence, the home requires comprehensive modernisation, allowing new owners to tailor the space according to their preferences and lifestyle needs. Inside, the layout includes a living/dining area and kitchen on the ground floor, alongside two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a separate W.C on the upper level. There exists an option to expand the upstairs layout by converting part of it into a third bedroom through minor reconfiguration—an approach already seen in similar nearby homes. The exterior features a generously sized approximately 60ft south-facing rear garden that boasts both patio and lawn areas ideal for outdoor relaxation or gardening enthusiasts. At the front, you'll find driveway parking and another traditional lawn space. There are possibilities for further expansion (subject to planning permission) given that neighbouring properties have successfully completed single-storey extensions and loft conversions. In terms of location, Manning Road offers excellent access to St. Mary Cray Station (roughly 0.7 miles away), making commutes into central London straightforward. The nearby Nugent Shopping Park provides a variety of shops and dining options within walking distance. Families will appreciate proximity to several reputable schools such as Manor Oak Primary School. For leisure seekers, Orpington High Street is just a short drive or bus ride away, offering a broader range of amenities along with expansive green spaces suitable for walking and outdoor activities. This property comes with no onward chain, making it an attractive prospect for buyers ready to embark on their renovation journey.
