5 bed terraced house for sale

Birchwood Avenue, Beckenham BR3

A beautifully scaled 1930s five-bedroom mid-terrace, extended to the rear and finished with a loft conversion, this is a home that gets the balance exactly right - character where you want it, contemporary performance where you need it, and approximately 1,619 sq ft including the detached garage to stretch into as life evolves.

Step inside and the tone is immediate: Stylistically presented, calm and cohesive, with original 1930s detailing thoughtfully restored and elevated rather than replaced. The ground floor has been reworked for modern living, offering two distinct reception rooms for flexibility - formal when it matters, relaxed when it doesn’t - before opening into the extended rear of the house where everyday life naturally gravitates. Here, carefully positioned skylights draw natural light deep into the plan, subtly shifting the mood of the space from morning through to evening.

And then there’s the kitchen. High-end in specification and sharp in execution, it’s fitted with integrated appliances and a finish that feels considered rather than showy - the sort of space that works just as well for a quiet weekday breakfast as it does for a full house on a Saturday evening. Overhead skylights sit comfortably within the architecture, enhancing the sense of volume and light while maintaining a clean, composed aesthetic. A downstairs WC completes the practical brief without compromising the overall design.

Upstairs, the accommodation is arranged over the upper floors to deliver five well-proportioned bedrooms and three bathrooms, making it ideal for families who need proper separation and adequate infrastructure - not just extra rooms. The loft conversion adds a valuable additional layer, naturally brightened by skylights that reinforce the feeling of space, calm and privacy that’s increasingly hard to find.

Outside, the headline bonus is the detached garage - rare for a mid-terrace and invaluable in day-to-day terms, whether that’s secure parking, storage, bikes, tools, or future workshop or gym potential.

Birchwood Avenue sits in a consistently sought-after pocket of Beckenham, perfectly placed for the rhythm of local life. Beckenham High Street is close at hand, offering independent cafés, supermarkets and everyday essentials, while green space is easily accessible, with Kelsey Park and Beckenham Place Park providing weekend walks, playgrounds and room to breathe. School catchment remains a core draw, with popular options including Balgowan Primary School, Clare House Primary School, and the Langley Park School for Boys and Girls. Commuting is well served via Beckenham Junction station and nearby transport links, keeping access to central London straightforward.
