- 2 bed semi-detached cottage Overlooking farmland Modernised, but retaining period features Potential for extension (stpp)
This enchanting semi-detached cottage with charm, character and period features, whilst being tastefully modernised by the current owners, offers the perfect blend of rural serenity whilst conveniently situated just over three miles from the bustling town centre of Orpington. There is further potential to extend (subject to the usual planning consents).
The cottage overlooks open farmland within a tranquil country lane and would appeal to professional couples, downsizers, or those seeking a peaceful lifestyle without sacrificing access to amenities. The interiors are warm and inviting, showcasing original features such as character fireplaces, and are finished in a tasteful, neutral palette.
Upon entering, the property offers two well proportioned reception rooms. The cosy sitting room boasts a striking brick fireplace with a separate dining room providing an ideal space for entertaining. The modern shaker-style kitchen includes ample wall and base units, integrated appliances and opens onto a sun room which overlooks the garden and rural setting.
Upstairs, the main bedroom enjoys glorious dual-aspect views across the countryside, a charming feature fireplace, and fitted storage. The shower room with a double walk-in shower and a second bedroom, ideal as a guest room or home office, complete the upper level.
Externally, the cottage sits within a generous south-east facing garden, primarily laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees and shrubs. A gravel driveway offers ample parking, while the brick-built shed, summerhouse, and outdoor WC add practicality and charm to this delightful setting.
Gorse Road, is a quiet rural lane just 3.1 miles from Orpington town centre, which offers a comprehensive range of amenities including high street shops, supermarkets, and leisure facilities. Nearby attractions include Priory Gardens, Orpington Golf Centre, and Knoll Tennis Club. Well-regarded schools such as Chelsfield Primary, Harris Academy, Brown’s School, and the renowned St Olave’s and Newstead Wood Grammar Schools, all within easy reach.
