3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Rookesley Road, Orpington BR5

Detailed Description

Guide price £400,000.00 - £425,000.00.

Kenton are delighted to present this 3 bedroom semi-detached house that will undoubtedly make a wonderful home for the next prospective owners, being marketed for sale for the first time since 1957 when originally built.

Whilst objectively, the property requires general renovation throughout (although that said a new combination boiler has recently been installed), it has evidently been well-maintained by the former owners and remains un-extended, with precedents for various differing extensions amongst neighbouring properties.

The ground floor comprises ample reception space in the form of a box bay-fronted living room which in turn opens on to a separate dining room, as well as the kitchen situated to the rear overlooking the garden.

To the first floor, you will find three well-proportioned bedrooms, as well as a bathroom and adjacent separate W.C (with it certainly possible to amalgamate these in to one bigger bathroom).

Externally, there is a pleasant rear garden, boasting a westerly orientation, measuring circa 65ft in length and featuring both patio and traditional lawn areas.

Notably, there is also an ample-sized garage to the side, which features both power and light. Furthermore, there is also a driveway to the front in addition to a further garden area.

As referenced, within the vicinity is a number of precedents for various different extensions. As such, theoretically (i.e subject to planning permission, by default) it would be viable for the next prospective owners to extend to the rear, convert the garage and also convert the loft (or indeed all of the above).

Rookesley Road is conveniently yet peacefully situated, with both a range of amenities but equally vast Kent countryside, within close proximity. Specifically, Orpington High Street (and its array of; handy shops, restaurants, bars and leisure and beauty facilities) is just a short drive or bus ride away. Furthermore, both Orpington and St. Mary Cray Stations are also a short drive or bus ride away, providing direct and frequent services into central London, respectively. Some of Orpington's most popular schools are also nearby, namely the currently-rated Ofsted "good" (respectively) Harris and St. Mary Cray Academies.
