2 bed semi-detached house for sale

Manning Road, Orpington BR5

Detailed Description

Kenton are delighted to present this 2 bedroom semi-detached house, marketed for sale for the first time in circa 70 years.

Having only ever been sold once with that having been when originally built, evidently the property has been a wonderful family home for a generation and no doubt will be for the next prospective owners also. That said, objectively the property does require general modernisation throughout, but naturally therefore offers vast potential for prospective buyers to truly make this home their own.

Internally, the property comprises a living/dining room and kitchen to the ground floor, with two bedrooms and a bathroom and separate W.C to the first floor. Notably, it is viable for a small third bedroom to be created to the first floor via some re-configuration, with precedents for this amongst neighbouring properties.

Externally, there is a circa 60ft long rear garden boasting the ever-coveted south-orientation, featuring both patio and traditional lawn areas. Furthermore there is also a driveway as well as a further traditional lawn area, to the front.

Subject to planning permission (by default), it is also viable to extend with for instance there precedents for both single-storey extensions as well as loft conversions amongst the neighbouring properties.

Manning Road is conveniently-located, with firstly St. Mary Cray Station circa 0.7m away, providing direct and frequent services into central London. The popular Nugent Shopping Park, featuring an array of well-known retailers and eateries is also a mere short walk away. Additionally, some of Orpington's most popular schools are also easily-accessible, namely the reputable Manor Oak Primary School as well as St Mary Cray Primary Academy and the Harris Academy. Orpington High Street and its extensive range of; shops, restaurants, bars, beauty and leisure facilities (including an odeon cinema complex) is also just a short drive or bus ride away.
