About
Bay fronted three bedroom semi-detached property on sought after Cathcart Drive, close to Orpington Station and many sought after schools. No chain and great potential to extend STPP.
Requires modernisation.
Thomas Brown Estates are delighted to offer this bay fronted three bedroom semi-detached property, situated on the ever popular Cathcart Drive, within a short walk of Orpington Station and close to Darrick Wood, Newstead Wood and Crofton schools.
Offered to the market with no forward chain, the accommodation comprises an entrance hallway, lounge open plan to the dining room and kitchen to the ground floor.
To the first floor are three bedrooms, including two doubles, a family bathroom and separate WC.
Externally, the property benefits from a mature rear garden, garage to the side and driveway to the front.
Subject to the necessary planning permissions, there is potential to extend to the rear, convert the garage and/or the loft space, as many neighbouring properties have done.
Please note that the property requires modernisation throughout, which has been reflected in the asking price.
Cathcart Drive is ideally positioned for excellent local schools, Orpington and Petts Wood Stations, both High Streets and a range of local bus routes. Internal viewing is highly recommended.
