4 bed detached house for sale

Avebury Road, Orpington BR6

Property Reference - JD0226

Situated in an elevated position just moments from Newstead Wood Grammar school and 0.7 of a mile from Orpington Main Line Station, lies this extended detached residence.

This much loved family home has been extended and reconfigured over the near 30 years of ownership to provide a well balanced home that would suit multigenerational living or those who regularly have family to stay for extended periods.

Arranged over two floors, the property comprises four bedrooms (one downstairs), home office, two generous reception rooms, extended kitchen and two bathrooms.

Situated close to the end of a no through road with adjacent school playing fields giving a green and leafy feel to the road. "High View' is approached via a driveway to the left and a pathway to the right with a pretty picket fence giving privacy to the front area of garden.

Beyond the front door you are greeted by a bright and inviting hallway with natural light coming by way of a window on the first floor landing and a window to the side.

The hallway gives way to under stair storage and the principle living accommodation. To the rear you will find an extended kitchen with breakfasting area, door to the side allowing access to the front and rear of the property and a large window overlooking the garden. The kitchen is tastefully decorated with shaker style fitted wall and base units, tiled splash back and contrasting black counter tops. The generous proportions of the room allow space for an under counter fridge and freezer and space and plumbing for a dishwasher.

Adjacent to the kitchen there is a 19ft reception room which opens onto a raised patio ideal for alfresco dining overlooking the well kept garden beyond.

What would have formally been the sitting room, is now utilised as a large dining room ideal for family get togethers and entertaining guests over dinner.

The dining room links you to the side extension which runs the full depth of the property. The hallway giving way to a home office at the front where the garage would have once sat. Beyond the office there is a useful utility cupboard which houses the washing machine and drier, modern shower room and an adjoining bedroom which features its own access to the garden. In our opinion this space would suit an au pair, visiting family or an older child seeking some independence within the family home.

Upstairs the original layout of the home allows for three well proportioned bedrooms, family bathroom and separate w.c. The neutral and uncluttered decor of downstairs extends to the upstairs accommodation to give a relaxing and inviting space in which to lay your head.

The front bedroom benefits from a bay window to the front, while the rear bedrooms look out over the garden and beyond given the elevated position of this home.

Externally you will find an established and well maintained garden with mature acer trees and shrubs giving colour and added privacy to the garden.

There is a raised area of patio from which to enjoy summer barbecues and alfresco dining, an area of lawn for children play and at the rear two timber sheds which can be used for storage or repurposed to create a hobby room.
