Kenton are delighted to present this traditional and attractive detached house coming to the market for the first time in a generation, situated in one of the most coveted roads within Orpington South. Objectively, the property requires complete renovation and modernisation throughout however therefore represents a fantastic project opportunity for prospective buyers. Internally, to the ground floor, the property comprises two separate and ample-sized reception rooms in the form of a bay-fronted dining room and also a lounge to the rear overlooking the rear garden. Adjacent to the lounge is the kitchen which, incidentally, is infact relatively contemporary in style having been fitted circa 10 years or so ago. Furthermore, there is a cloakroom with W.C to complete the ground floor accommodation. A porch and in turn wide and welcoming L-shaped entrance hall serve the ground floor. To the first floor, you will find four bedrooms (three doubles and a relatively good sized single), two of which currently feature fitted wardrobes. A bathroom and separate W.C conclude the first floor accommodation. Notably, the landing is also well-proportioned. Externally, the aforementioned rear garden is attractively tiered, boasting a south-easterly orientation and measuring approximately 120 feet in length. Furthermore, there is also an ample-sized garage. To the front, there is a driveway facilitating off-street parking for a couple of vehicles. As referenced, The Ridge is un-questionably one of the most desired roads in South Orpington, with Orpington Station a mere circa 15 minutes walk away, providing direct and frequent services into central London. Additionally, the ever-popular and reputable Darrick Wood School (mixed primary and secondary) is also within short walking distance, as is the well-renowned Newstead Wood Grammar School (girls with a mixed sixth form). The equally well-renowned St. Olaves Grammar School (boys with mixed sixth form) is also within fair proximity. Orpington High Street and its extensive range of amenities is also easily-accessible. Undoubtedly, post said renovation works, the property will make a truly wonderful family home and so with that we naturally recommend your earliest attention.
