Description

This classic 1930s Berg Built semi-detached home is located on a popular and peaceful residential side street in Shirley. Well-positioned to cater to families, within close proximity to reputable schools and transport links, this property has much to offer. There are three well-proportioned bedrooms and two inviting reception rooms, a classic, sensible, and spacious layout. A double garage and large hardstanding at the rear provide ample parking, while the secluded rear garden, enjoying a southerly aspect, offers a tranquil space for relaxation. Having been a much-loved home for over two decades, it is obvious that this home has been cherished and well looked after over the years and offers a buyer a great opportunity to create their dream home.

Extension Potential
Beyond its current allure, this property has much potential for future enhancements and extensions. Similar homes in the immediate area have been extended to the rear, and others have converted their lofts to provide additional bedrooms and bathrooms. This scope certainly exists here, subject obviously to local planning consents.

Location
Lorne Avenue is an attractive and peaceful residential side street, convenient for many amenities, and can be found between The Glade & Gladeside. Around a mile away, you’ll also find a large Tesco's superstore at Elmers End, alongside a selection of restaurants and cafes. Local shops at Bywood are within a few hundred yards.

Transport Links
Transport links within easy reach include the Tram Link at Arena, which is around 0.75 of a mile away and serves East Croydon and Elmers End railway stations, where you’ll find fast rail services to central London and Gatwick airport among many other destinations too. Wimbledon and Beckenham Junction are also on the Tram Link. The 367 bus route runs along The Glade, which connects to most of the above destinations, as well Beckenham and Bromley town centres and the main Wickham Road too.

Schools In The Area
Local schools nearby include Monks Orchard Primary School, Orchard Park Academy and Marian Vian. The LANGLEY SCHOOLS are just over a mile away [as the crow flies]. Coloma, Trinity, Royal Russell and Whitgift are slightly further afield, but within easy reach given the presence of the transport close by.
