About this property
'Berg' Built Semi Detached Family Home
Occupying a Large Corner Plot
Much Extension Potential [S.T.P.P.]
Three Good Sized Bedrooms
Two Spacious Reception Rooms
21' Conservatory Overlooking The Garden
Versatile 19' Timber Cabin
Garage & Gated Driveway At Side
Well presented throughout, this impressive semi-detached home offers spacious family-sized accommodation. ‘Berg’ build homes always prove popular as they are well known locally for the quality of their 1930’s construction. With some impressive features, the versatile accommodation includes a peaceful lounge at the front, a good-sized second reception room and a fitted kitchen with doors opening onto a large conservatory which overlooks the rear garden. All three of the generously proportioned bedrooms can be found on the first floor along with the luxurious bathroom suite. At the rear of this delightful home is the pleasant rear garden, the perfect spot in which to relax and entertain family and friends in the summer months. On a really wide corner plot, and with a large timber cabin, garage, workshop, and parking, this family home is well worth viewing.
Future Potential
Due to the large and unusually wide corner plot the property occupies, there is ample space to the side for development in the future. This could be in the form of extensions or perhaps even a stand-alone ‘granny annex’ style dwelling, should a large family require even more space. Similar homes in Lorne Gardens, Lorne Avenue and Gladeside Road have had large double-storey side additions, and single-storey rear extensions. This scope exists in abundance here too. Of course, any improvements of this nature would require the relevant planning permission and building regulation approval.
Location
Lorne Gardens is an attractive and peaceful residential side street, convenient for many amenities, and can be found between The Glade & Gladeside. Around a mile away, you’ll also find a large Tesco's superstore at Elmers End, alongside a selection of restaurants and cafes. Local shops at Bywood are within a few hundred yards.
Transport Links
Transport links within easy reach include the Tram Link at Arena, which is around 0.65 of a mile away and serves East Croydon and Elmers End railway stations, where you’ll find fast rail services to central London and Gatwick airport among many other destinations too. Wimbledon and Beckenham Junction are also on the Tram Link. The 367 bus route runs along The Glade, which connects to most of the above destinations, as well Beckenham and Bromley town centres and the main Wickham Road too.
Schools In The Area
Local schools nearby include Monks Orchard Primary School, Orchard Park Academy and Marian Vian. The langley schools are just over a mile away [as the crow flies]. Coloma, Trinity, Royal Russell and Whitgift are slightly further afield, but within easy reach given the presence of the transport close by.
