Property description

You will also find a ground floor cloakroom/WC outside, the property is approached via a driveway from Loxwood Close which also provides off-street parking for several cars.

The property also has gas central heating and is offered with no onward chain.
Orpington is a thriving suburban town within the M25 and therefore ideally situated for access to the motorway network and the railway stations that can transport you into London in as little as 16 minutes. The Town Centre has a comprehensive range of shops and facilities including the Walnuts Centre with its soon to be opened Odeon cinema. Sports facilities are also well catered for with the Walnuts Sports Centre, golf courses, football and rugby clubs all within the area. A little way out of town you will find larger shops at the Nugent Retail Park as well as the large DIY stores and big name retailers at the industrial estates near to the river Cray. Larger shopping centres at Bluewater and Bromley can also be found within 10 miles drive or bus ride. The Orpington district has lots of green areas to enjoy including Priory Gardens and Goddington Park and the rolling Kent countryside starts from the edge of town where you will find cosy country pubs in the surrounding villages. Many people are drawn to the area for the reputable schools that include 'Outstanding' rated primary's at Warren Road and Perry Hall Road plus the highly regarded Darrick Wood Secondary School. St Olaves Boys and Newstead Wood Girls Grammar Schools are also within the BR6 area.
