The property is a 3-bedroom bungalow situated on Gillmans Road in Orpington, Bromley. It benefits from being close to several primary and secondary schools, with Harris Primary Academy Orpington and Blenheim Primary School both receiving a “Good” Ofsted rating and within a kilometer of the property. The proximity to Orpington, St Mary Cray, and Chelsfield train stations provides convenient access to Southeastern rail services. Based on the images, the property appears to be in generally good condition, although some aspects suggest it could benefit from modernisation. The kitchen and bathrooms, in particular, show their age and could be updated to enhance the property’s appeal. The carpets and wallpaper also appear dated. The garden is a notable feature, offering a good-sized outdoor space. Considering the average house price in the area is significantly higher at £792,500, and the average price per sqft is £647, the asking price of £450,000 for this 747.43 sqft property seems relatively reasonable, especially given its location and the inclusion of a garden. However, potential buyers should factor in the cost of potential renovations to bring the property up to modern standards. The presence of a garage is also a positive aspect. The property’s age and style suggest it could be classified as a “Traditional” property, having some modernisations but retaining traditional character. The property also benefits from a garage and garden.
Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
