This beautifully presented three-bedroom semi-detached home seamlessly blends the character of a 1930s property with high-quality modern improvements, offering spacious and stylish accommodation ideal for family living.

The property has been thoughtfully extended to create generous living space, with a stunning John Lewis fitted kitchen at its heart. Throughout the home, the original floors have been professionally refinished and the interiors have been tastefully redecorated, creating a bright and welcoming feel. The 1930's style stained glass front door and porch doors add to the home's charm and kerb appeal.

Upstairs, the property offers three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom, while a convenient ground floor WC provides added practicality.

Outside, the home benefits from a driveway providing off-road parking for up to three vehicles, together with a garage. The attractive planted front garden creates an inviting first impression, while the enclosed rear garden offers an ideal space for relaxing, entertaining or family activities.

The property has also been upgraded with a range of energy-efficient features, including solar panels and an electric vehicle charging point. Plumbing is already in place for a heat pump, with planning permission already granted, offering buyers the opportunity to further improve the home's efficiency.

Situated in the sought-after village of Downe, the property enjoys a peaceful setting while remaining conveniently close to local amenities, including a village shop, traditional pubs and well-regarded schools. Excellent road links provide easy access to Orpington, where a wider selection of shops, restaurants and leisure facilities can be found, along with mainline rail services offering direct connections into Central London. Surrounded by picturesque countryside and nearby walking routes, this home offers the perfect balance of village charm and modern convenience.

Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the size and potential of this property.

Buyer Process: Our customers use British Homebuyers to either purchase or assist in selling properties quickly and reliably. Therefore any new applicants to purchase are subject to vetting to ensure they meet strict criteria.

Exclusivity Fee:
You can secure the purchase by paying an exclusivity fee of £2,000. This grants the buyer exclusive rights to proceed with the purchase for the duration of the conveyancing process, during which time the seller agrees to remove the property from the market and not negotiate with other parties.

The exclusivity fee is returned to the buyer upon successful completion of the purchase.

A processing fee of £200 is required in order to draw up an exclusive legally binding contract between the buyer and seller. This agreement sets out the terms of exclusivity and seller commitment but does not constitute an exchange of contracts.

This arrangement provides buyers with reassurance that the property is secured exclusively for them, reducing the risk of gazumping and unnecessary aborted costs.
