Description
Guide Price: £900,000 - £925,000. Having been a lovely home to the same family for many years, this character detached three bedroom house is located on the favoured south side of Orpington in a leafy lane, just a few minutes' walk of St Olaves Grammar School For Boys. Other popular schools; the mainline station; the High Street with it's vast array of shops, restaurants, cafes and bars and cinema plus other leisure facilities, are all close by. Whilst up-dating is required, the property does benefit from a recently installed boiler, and most attractively refitted four piece bathroom suite. The current layout of accommodation is spacious, retains many original character features, and includes: two good sized reception rooms, kitchen, cloakroom, three double bedrooms and the aforementioned family bathroom. Undoubtedly, one of the main features of this home is the park-like rear garden. With an approximately south-westerly aspect and measuring well in excess of 100'0. The garden is very well secluded and has been well tended. Offered to the market with no onward chain, the property offers tremendous potential for improvement and extension (subject to planning permission), and viewing comes highly recommended.
Special Note:-
Goddington Lane is a lovely leafy lane, and is home to the renowned St Olave's Grammar School. It is worth noting (per St Olave's Rules & Regulations July 2021) "Unless special permission is obtained or a pupil has to carry a heavy musical instrument, only the Park Avenue. entrance should be used. Parents/carers may not drop boys at the Goddington Lane entrance." In essence, this means that this semi-rural lane does not become congested with cars at school "drop off" and "pick up" times.
