Downs Hill, Beckenham

This substantial detached home has been lovingly cared for by the current owners who have owned the house since 1971. Over the years the vendors have rewired and updated the consumer unit to meet current regulations, replaced the boiler, and the windows have been upgraded and replaced with aluminium-framed replacement double glazing over the years. A small extension to the rear of the fitted kitchen provides a great breakfast area overlooking the gardens. Off the hall is a cloakroom, lovely sitting and dining rooms. Upstairs are three double bedrooms and a bathroom. Benefits and character features include high ceilings, original internal doors and original bell push, fitted carpets and curtains remain where fitted and the appliances are included in the kitchen. This is a great house which, if desired, has great bones at its heart with great potential to extend and refurbish if so desired. Outside is ample off-street driveway parking leading to a single garage. The sunny established south-westerly facing rear garden is some 100 ft deep. This is a great home for a growing family in a sought-after popular location convenient for Shortlands Village, Shortlands and Ravensbourne Stations, Valley Primary School and Beckenham Place Park
