Requiring updating, this charming semi-detached cottage is set on a secluded, wooded plot and approached via a long gravel driveway – an increasingly rare opportunity for buyers seeking character, privacy and potential.
Tucked away on a highly sought-after, tree-lined residential road, the property is ideally located within just a short walk of Shortlands station and local village shops. Bromley town centre, with its excellent shopping, dining and leisure facilities along with The Glades retail centre, is also easily accessible via a pleasant stroll through Queensmead Park and Martins Hill.
Internally, the house offers three bedrooms (the third being a small single) and a shower room to the first floor. The ground floor includes an entrance hall with feature wrought-iron spiral staircase, a fitted kitchen, dining room open-plan to a spacious living room with stone fireplace, plus a useful guest WC. While the property would now benefit from updating, it provides an exciting opportunity to create a bespoke home tailored to individual tastes.
The grounds are a particular highlight: a mature, wooded setting offering a real sense of seclusion and tranquillity. The sweeping gravel driveway provides parking for several cars and leads to a large single garage with light and power.
A unique home full of character and potential – available chain free.
