Maguire Baylis are pleased to offer for sale this charming and locally listed three-bedroom cottage – a rarely available home full of character and period appeal, complete with a garage to the rear.
Requiring updating throughout, we understand the property was originally built circa 1900, and forms part of a small row of distinctive timber-framed cottages, set back from the road. Highlights include the cosy lounge with exposed brick chimney breast and wood-burning stove, along with a cottage-style kitchen/dining room to the rear with French doors opening onto the garden. There is a spacious family bathroom upstairs, plus a useful downstairs wc.
Conveniently positioned, the property is just moments from the popular shops, cafés and restaurants of Locksbottom, as well as excellent transport links with bus routes to Orpington and Bromley – both offering fast services into central London. It is also ideally placed for the Princess Royal University Hospital, well-regarded schools including Darrick Wood and Farnborough Village, woodland walks at High Elms Country Park, and easy access to the M25 at Junction 4.
Outside, the rear garden extends to approximately 25ft, offering a secluded low-maintenance space laid mainly to paving. A single garage sits at the end of the garden, accessed via a shared service road from Farnborough Common. To the front, the cottage is pleasantly set back, with a traditional cottage-style garden and white picket fence.
Overall, this is a property with excellent potential – an opportunity to refurbish and create a truly special home in a highly convenient and sought-after location.
