Property Description
Situated in this peaceful backwater, yet easily accessible to all amenities, is this delightful semi-detached house. Having been a loving home to the same family since being built in 1956, the property has been well maintained, and has a lovely rear garden with an approximately southerly aspect. Boasting three good sized bedrooms, and a refitted shower room and separate WC upstairs, downstairs there is a lovely bright triple aspect reception room, and modern kitchen/breakfast room. This house offers tremendous potential for extension, and alterations (including easily creating a ground floor cloakroom, if needed). Lapworth Close is charming, and very quiet cul-de-sac, located just a short car or bus ride away from Orpington High Street with it's array of shops and leisure facilities. The mainline station with a fast and frequent service to London is also close by, as is Goddington Park, and a very good selection of schools including St Olave's, and Newstead Wood - the two incredibly popular grammar schools here in Orpington. Being offered to the market "chain-free", viewing comes highly recommended.
