This CHAIN FREE, extended three bedroom semi detached home is located on one of the area’s most sought after roads, enjoying a generous plot and backing onto Hollydale Park. Built in the 1930s, the house carries the familiar charm of its tile hung and Tudor style frontage and still offers clear potential for further extension, subject to the usual permissions. The house has been well cared for over the years, and the setting, the plot, and the overall feel combine to create a home that is both practical and quietly characterful.<br/><br/>A bright entrance hall sets the tone, complete with a modern cloakroom. The two reception rooms are linked by double doors, giving the flexibility to keep them separate or open them into one larger space. The front sitting room has a bay window and a contemporary marble fireplace, while the rear dining room enjoys its own bay with picturesque views and doors leading straight out to the garden. Solid oak flooring runs through the hall and both reception rooms, creating a calm, cohesive feel.<br/><br/>The extended kitchen/breakfast room sits at the back of the house and is a comfortable everyday space, fitted with a wide range of units and an integrated seating area with space for a breakfast table and a utility area. Its split level design adds character and makes the most of the garden view. A side door leads out to the garden and garage.<br/><br/>Upstairs are two generous double bedrooms and a smaller double, all with fitted wardrobes, along with a four piece family bathroom.<br/><br/>The outside space is one of the property’s most appealing features, offering a blend of maturity, privacy, and usable areas that work well throughout the seasons. The stunning rear garden stretches to approximately 134 feet beginning with a paved terrace and opening out to a lawn bordered by mature shrubs and planting that create a sense of openness and privacy. A large timber workshop sits at the far end on a concrete base. To the side, behind double gates, is a detached garage and a block paved area that catches the morning sun and has a gentle courtyard like atmosphere. The front garden includes a lovely, manicured lawn with mature shrubs in the borders and is complemented by a block paved driveway.<br/><br/>Lakeside Drive lies within a designated area of special residential character and is particularly popular with families thanks to its excellent school options, including Darrick Wood, Ravenswood, Keston Primary, and the selective Newstead Wood and St Olave’s grammar schools. Locksbottom village, with its shops, restaurants, Vets, a Doctors Surgery and the PRU Hospital, is within 0.9 miles. Transport links, offering fast services to London from Orpington and Bromley South stations, as well as the Tramlink to Croydon, are close at hand.
