Agent Reference - JD0226

Situated on sought-after Tubbenden Drive within the popular Davis Estate, this extended four-bedroom semi-detached family home offers well-proportioned accommodation in a highly convenient setting. Ideally positioned for favoured local schools, the property is within a mile of Orpington Train Station and enjoys easy access to a range of parks, open spaces and recreational facilities, making it an appealing choice for families and commuters alike.

The property is chain free and, while requiring cosmetic refurbishment and updating, offers an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to modernise and personalise to their own taste and requirements.

The accommodation is particularly flexible, making the property well suited to family life and equally attractive to those looking for additional space for working from home, hobbies, older children or multi-generational living.

On entering the property, the light and inviting hallway provides access to the principal living accommodation.  The sitting room sits to the front of the home with the bay aspect providing lots of natural light. The room features double doors opening through into the dining room, creating an open and sociable arrangement when required, while still allowing the two rooms to be used independently. The dining room in turn opens through towards the kitchen and rear conservatory, providing a useful flow through the ground floor and views towards the garden.

The conservatory provides an additional reception area overlooking the rear garden and could lend itself to a variety of uses, from a relaxed everyday sitting area to a playroom or entertaining space.

A particularly useful feature of the property is the two-storey side extension, which significantly increases the versatility of the accommodation. At ground floor level, the extension provides a three-piece shower room, separate laundry area and a home office, which could equally be used as a fifth bedroom, playroom, study or hobby room, depending on the needs of the new owners. The inclusion of a ground floor shower room and potential bedroom creates an excellent arrangement for multi-generational living, visiting family or guests, while also offering practical flexibility as family circumstances change.

Moving upstairs, there are four further bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is a well-proportioned room with the benefit of the property’s front-facing bay window, providing additional character and a pleasant outlook. The rear bedroom is another good-sized double room, while the third bedroom, positioned within the extension, is sufficiently generous to accommodate a double bed if required. The fourth bedroom is ideally suited to a child or could provide a useful home office, study or occasional bedroom.

Outside, the rear garden enjoys a southerly aspect, with a patio immediately adjoining the house leading onto an area of lawn. Mature shrub borders and established trees towards the rear provide a good degree of privacy and create a pleasant setting for outdoor seating, entertaining and family use. The garden also offers scope for landscaping and improvement according to the requirements of the new owner.

To the front of the property is an area of garden together with a brick-paved driveway, providing useful off-street parking. It is worth noting the house retains gated side access,  particularly useful for those considering further extension.
