Detached house for sale in Craven Road, Orpington BR6

Situated in this sought-after road, just a short walk from Green Belt countryside, and yet also only a short car or bus journey from Orpington High Street, Orpington and Chelsfield railway stations, and highly regarded schools, is this 3/4 bedroom detached house. The property has been a loving family home for many, many years, and benefits from extended ground floor accommodation, and offers tremendous potential. The layout of the accommodation could quite easily be altered - if required - to provide for a self contained annexe. There is a 22'8 lounge leading from the spacious entrance hall, separate dining room, study/bedroom 4, and breakfast room, together with a kitchen, utility room, and shower room all to the ground floor. Upstairs, are the three bedrooms, all with wardrobes, and a family bathroom. All leading off a similarly spacious landing. The integral garage is larger than average, there is ample parking to the front via "carriage" driveway, and the rear garden measuring in excess of 100'0" is in two distinct sections- the latter half currently requiring some cultivation. Offered with the advantage of no onward chain, this residence really must be viewed in order to fully appreciate the amount of accommodation, and potential available.
