Description

This semi-detached residence features two generously sized double bedrooms and presents a noteworthy opportunity for renovation and expansion, pending the necessary planning approvals. Conveniently located within walking distance to various local amenities, the property allows for potential extensions to the rear, side, and loft space—options that many nearby properties have successfully undertaken. Currently, the layout includes an entrance hall leading to a lounge, a kitchen/dining area, and a ground floor WC. The first floor offers two spacious bedrooms alongside a family bathroom and a separate WC. The principal bedroom’s ample size suggests potential for reconfiguration into a third bedroom, mirroring modifications seen in other homes in the vicinity. Externally, you'll find a private rear garden needing attention and a front driveway accommodating off-street parking for multiple vehicles. Notably, this property requires full refurbishment throughout but represents an ideal canvas for buyers aiming to personalize their living space according to individual preferences. Positioned conveniently near local schools, shops, bus routes, and St. Mary Cray mainline station, internal viewings are encouraged to fully grasp the property's renovation potential.
