Located on Borkwood Way in the popular Davis Estate in South Orpington lies this handsome three bedroom semi detached home.
If you are planning a move to Orpington, access to good schools and commuter links are probably high on your wish list and this home doesn't disappoint. Not only are there three popular primary schools within a 0.55 mile radius of the property (Tubbenden Primary 0.28 miles, Warren Road Primary 0.38 miles and Farnborough Primary 0.55 miles away) but Darrick Wood Secondary School is located 0.93 miles away ( as the crow flies) and Orpington Main Line Station just 1 mile by foot. It is also worth noting that Orpington's two selective grammar schools Newstead Woods and St Olaves and St Saviours are 0.6 miles and 1.4 miles away by foot.
On approaching you are met by an expansive frontage with an area of lawned garden as well as off street parking and a detached single garage to the side. Plans were drawn up in 2011 and permission granted for a single storey side and rear extension to create a larger kitchen, utility room, cloakroom and construction of an adjoining garage. Works were never undertaken and permissions have subsequently lapsed, however the scope for similar development remains.
On entering you greeted by a bright and airy hallway which feeds the principle living accommodation. To the rear you will find a sociable kitchen/dining room which provides a real heart to this home and a great space to get the family all together. The dining area opens onto a decked terrace and garden while the kitchen has been tastefully remodelled with handleless gloss units, integrated dishwasher & fridge freezer and solid wood counter tops which continue into a breakfast bar area which helps define the space while providing an informal area to socialise with guests. The 2019 installed combi boiler is also housed in the kitchen behind a cupboard, so as not to detract from the modern clean lines of the kitchen.
To the front of the home there is a formal sitting room which is decorated in neutral tones with a feature papered wall, wood effect flooring and a half bay window which provides natural light and views over the front garden.
As you climb the stairs to the first floor, you can't help but notice the natural light allowed by the three windows taking you from the hall to the landing. On entering the landing you will find the bathroom to the left which features a bright dual aspect and a period inspired newly installed four piece suite, comprising a large walk-in shower, enclosed cistern w.c, hand basin with vanity unit and bath. The look is completed by fully tiled walls, heated towel rail and wood effect flooring.
The bedrooms have a traditional layout with the master located at the front enjoying the feature bay window while also benefitting from fitted wardrobe space either side of the chimney breast. Bedroom two is located at the rear and benefits from a large window over looking the garden, while bedroom three sits at the front of the property with a lovely dual aspect giving a view over to nearby Green Street Green. The bedrooms feature calming neutral decor and freshly laid carpets.
Getting around is easy by road and public transport. Orpington Mainline Station is just 1 mile away offering commuters fast and frequent services to Cannon Street, London Bridge, Waterloo East, Charing Cross and London Victoria. The R4 bus can be accessed via stops on nearby Harley Gardens and Northlands Avenue approximately 64 metres away, allowing regular services to Orpington Station, High Street and Locksbottom for the Princess Royal University Hospital.
For those traveling by car, Junction 4 of the M25 is conveniently located 2.93 miles away, allowing access to the UK's motorway system. While for those wanting to escape to the coast or the countryside for the day, the A21 can be picked up in nearby Green Street Green.
Local shops to cater for your everyday essentials are located at Crescent Way, while Orpington High Street and the Nugent Shopping Park are both a short drive, where you will find a wider range of independent shops and High Street brands.
