Madeira Avenue, Shortlands, Bromley, BR1

Guide Price: £650,000 - £700,000. Maguire Baylis Estate Agents are pleased to present this much-loved detached family home, located in a highly sought-after and peaceful residential road in the heart of Shortlands.

Owned and cherished by the current family for over 40 years, this 1950s-built property offers a rare opportunity to modernise and extend (subject to planning), creating a home tailored to your own style and needs. While the interior was updated to a high standard during the 1980s and remains in good working order, the house now offers much scope throughout.

Set back from the road with driveway parking and an attached garage, the property features three well-proportioned bedrooms, a first floor bathroom with a retro four-piece avocado suite, and a further ground floor shower room. The two separate reception rooms provide excellent living space overlooking the mature and very private south-westerly facing garden. The kitchen includes a built-in oven and hob along with a walk-in larder, and there is a useful separate utility room.

Conveniently located, the property is within easy reach of both Ravensbourne and Shortlands stations, providing excellent access into central London. Local shops, popular schools, and the amenities within Bromley are all nearby, while Beckenham Place Park — with its open green spaces, swimming lake, café and Mansion events — is just a short walk away.

A genuinely appealing home with great potential — early viewing is highly recommended.
