Property description
First Time on the Market in Over Six DecadesPLEASE NOTE: THE SITTING ROOM, BEDROOM ONE AND ATTIC PHOTOS INCLUDE ADDITIONAL, CLEARLY MARKED, STAGED PHOTOGRAPHY TO ILLUSTRATE THE POTENTIAL OF THE ROOMS ONCE REFURBISHEDSituated in the highly sought-after Wickham Chase area of West Wickham, this 3-bedroom semi-detached 1930s home is brimming with potential. Lovingly owned by the same family for the past 61 years, it is now ready for a new chapter – offering the perfect canvas for a family to make their mark and bring it beautifully into the modern age.Stepping inside, you’ll find all the charm of a traditional 1930s layout – generous room proportions, large bay windows, and a wonderful sense of space and light. Many neighbouring properties have already opened up their layouts to create stunning open-plan kitchen/dining spaces, and extended into the loft space – a transformation that could easily be replicated here, with the proper planning permissions.This is a rare opportunity to create your forever home in one of West Wickham’s most prestigious roads.AccommodationGround Floor
A porch opens into the hallway, which leads through to the main reception rooms. The front-facing sitting room enjoys a classic 1930s bay window, filling the space with natural light and providing a warm, homely atmosphere. To the rear, the dining room opens into a conservatory, offering direct views over the garden – a lovely spot for family meals or quiet relaxation. A downstairs WC adds convenience, while the galley kitchen provides functional space with scope for redesign or extension, as many neighbouring homes have done.First Floor
Upstairs, a roomy landing (with loft access) leads to three bedrooms and family facilities. Bedroom one (with a bay window), and the single bedroom (three) are front facing, while the second double bedroom overlooks the rear garden and includes a wash basin and houses the hot water cylinder. Completing the upstairs is a separate bathroom and WC. With the proper permissions, the loft could be converted to create additional bedrooms or a study/play room, in line with other homes in the road.Outside
The property enjoys a good-size rear garden (approx. 15.87m x 7.08m (52'1" x 23'3")), which, once landscaped, will be ideal for entertaining, family play, and summer dining. There is a concrete passageway running along the right hand side of the house allowing access to the back garden and it also benefits from rear access via an alleyway. The existing garage is in need of replacement, but offers further scope for a new structure or alternative use.Potential
Many neighbouring properties have undertaken significant modernisation, including open-plan kitchen/dining extensions, loft conversions, and rear garden extensions – demonstrating the exciting opportunities available here (subject to planning). South-west and south-east roofs could also be well suited to installation of solar panels.Location
