5 bedroom detached house

Located on the ever-popular south side of Orpington, this family home offers not only great living space but also easy access to transport links (Orpington and Chelsfield mainline train stations, the M25, and bus routes), outstanding schools (Warren Road and Tubbenden Lane primary schools and Newstead Wood and St Olave’s grammar schools), and Orpington High Street, with its cinema, sports centre, and shops.

The main house comprises an open-plan hallway/reception room, a large main reception room and good-sized kitchen on the ground floor, with four spacious bedrooms (all with built-in wardrobes) and a modern family bathroom on the first floor. The substantial ground-floor extension creates a separate wing on the other side of the kitchen, with a wet-room and two connected rooms that can be used flexibly as a combination of bedroom, home office, or family rooms, or as an annexe for teenage/adult children or older relatives. The whole house has been well maintained and needs no immediate work, though you will doubtless in time wish to decorate to your own taste.

Externally, the garage and paved driveway providing off-street parking are accessed from the back of the house. The fully enclosed gardens on three sides of the house mean that there is always somewhere to sit and catch the sun (or shade) at any time of the day. There is even a balcony (with a productive grapevine) leading off one of the bedrooms, perfect for afternoon tea or an evening drink.
