71, Brooklands Avenue, Sidcup, DA15 7PF

There’s more house here than the frontage might have you believe.

Extended to the rear and offering almost 1,400 sq ft of space, this is a proper family home – one where the proportions work just as well as the layout.

The ground floor gives you plenty of flexibility.

There’s a separate study/playroom at the front, while the main reception runs through the centre of the house, creating a generous space for both living and dining.

At the rear, the kitchen is a particularly good size, with plenty of storage and preparation space, room to sit at the breakfast bar and wide bi-folding doors opening directly onto the patio and garden.

It’s that connection to the outside that really makes the back of the house work.

Both the kitchen and living space open onto the garden, giving the ground floor a bright, open feel and making it particularly good when friends or family are over.

The garden itself is a very usable size – a large paved terrace immediately behind the house, followed by lawn with established planting to either side.

Upstairs, there are three proper double bedrooms – no dressing up a box room as bedroom three – together with a generous family bathroom with both a freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower.

The house is presented in light, neutral tones throughout, but there’s still some character where it counts: Bay windows to the front, wooden flooring through much of the main living space and a traditional fireplace providing a focal point in the reception room.

There’s also off-street parking to the front, while the location puts New Eltham station within easy reach and makes this a particularly appealing part of Sidcup for families, with access to the area's sought-after schools and grammar system.

Nearly 1,400 sq ft, three double bedrooms, excellent living space and a garden that feels like a genuine extension of the house.

It’s the sort of home that could comfortably work for a family for a very long time
