Agent Reference - JD0226

Well presented and exceptionally versatile three-bedroom, three-bathroom town house, ideally positioned within the popular Maples development in Orpington, BR6. Arranged over three well-planned floors, this spacious family home offers an impressive level of flexibility, with a converted garage providing a superb additional reception room, a ground-floor bedroom and shower room, a generous first-floor sitting room, two further double bedrooms and a private, low-maintenance rear garden.

Perfectly placed for Orpington Station (0.9 miles), Ofsted Outstanding Warren Road Primary School (0.21 miles as the crow flies), highly regarded grammar schools, excellent local amenities and transport links, this is a home that offers the ideal combination of space, convenience and connectivity.

From the moment you step inside, it is clear that this is a home designed around modern family living. The three-storey layout provides excellent separation between the living and bedroom accommodation, whilst the additional reception room and three bathrooms offer a degree of flexibility that will appeal to a wide range of buyers.

The ground floor is particularly versatile and immediately sets this property apart.

The former garage has been converted to create a substantial additional reception room, currently used as a dining room. This is a genuinely useful room that could easily be adapted to suit individual requirements, whether as a formal dining room, generous home office, children’s playroom, gym or additional family room. For buyers working from home, the space offers an excellent opportunity to create a dedicated workspace away from the main living accommodation.

Also on this floor is a well-proportioned third bedroom, complemented by a separate shower room which is particularly well suited to visiting guests or relatives, offering them their own private area of the house. Alternatively, the bedroom could be utilised as a home office or study for those requiring additional workspace.

A separate utility room provides further practical space and leads directly onto the rear garden, making day-to-day household tasks particularly convenient.

The rear garden has been thoughtfully designed to provide an attractive outdoor space without demanding significant maintenance. A generous decked area provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, whilst raised sleeper beds add interest and provide space for planting. The artificial lawn completes the garden, creating a smart and easy-to-maintain environment that can be enjoyed throughout the year.

The first floor provides the principal living accommodation.

The kitchen is positioned to the front of the property and offers a well-balanced arrangement of storage and workspace, together with a useful breakfast bar. The position at the front of the house provides a pleasant outlook towards the street and creates a natural space for a morning coffee.

To the rear is a superb full-width sitting room, providing a generous and welcoming space in which to relax and entertain. The room has a wonderful balance of scale and comfort, with ample space for substantial sofas and furniture while retaining a warm and cosy atmosphere.

Whether you’re entertaining friends, enjoying a family film night or simply looking for somewhere to unwind at the end of the day, this is a room that lends itself perfectly.

The second floor provides two further double bedrooms and the remaining bathroom accommodation.

The principal bedroom is a particularly comfortable room and benefits from fitted wardrobes and a private en-suite shower room. The fitted storage provides excellent everyday practicality, while the en-suite adds an additional level of convenience and privacy.

The second bedroom is also a well-proportioned double and benefits from use of the family bathroom.

With three bedrooms and three bathrooms distributed across the three floors, the property provides an excellent degree of privacy and flexibility — something that is particularly difficult to achieve in a typical town house.

The property has been well maintained and is presented in good order throughout, allowing the new owners to move in and make the most of the accommodation from day one.
The location


The location is undoubtedly one of the property’s strongest features.

Situated within the popular BR6 area of Orpington, the Maples development is ideally placed for access to the area’s excellent transport connections, highly regarded schools, local amenities and abundance of green open space.

Excellent London Connections

For commuters, Orpington Station is a major attraction. The station provides frequent services into London, including fast connections towards London Bridge and central London, making it possible to enjoy the additional space and lifestyle benefits of Orpington without sacrificing accessibility to the capital.

The station also provides connections to a number of other destinations across London and Kent, making it a particularly useful transport hub for both commuters and those travelling for leisure.

The property is also well served by local bus routes, providing convenient connections to Orpington itself and surrounding neighbourhoods.

For motorists, the location is equally appealing. The area’s road network provides straightforward access towards the M25, opening up the wider motorway network and making journeys towards Kent, Surrey, Essex and other parts of the South East considerably easier.

Highly Regarded Schools

Orpington is particularly renowned for its educational offering and is a popular choice for families seeking access to some of the area’s most highly regarded schools.

The property is conveniently located for St Olave’s Grammar School and Newstead Wood School, two of the area’s best-known selective schools. Their reputation draws families from a wide surrounding area and is one of the reasons demand for property in this part of Orpington remains consistently strong.

There are also a number of primary and secondary schools within the wider Orpington area, making the location particularly attractive to families at different stages of their children’s education.

Orpington & Green Street Green

The property is perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of both worlds — the extensive amenities of Orpington town centre alongside the more village-like character of Green Street Green.

Orpington provides an excellent range of shopping, dining and leisure facilities, with supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday services all readily accessible. The town centre also provides a broad selection of amenities for both families and commuters, meaning there is little need to travel far for day-to-day essentials.

Green Street Green offers a more intimate and community-focused feel, with a selection of local shops, cafés, restaurants and amenities. Its location also provides convenient access to the surrounding countryside and open spaces.

Green Open Spaces

Despite its excellent London connections, Orpington retains a strong connection with the outdoors.

The surrounding area offers a wealth of parks, recreation grounds, woodland and open countryside, providing plenty of opportunities for walking, running, cycling and family days out.

This combination of excellent connectivity and access to green space is a major part of Orpington’s appeal. It offers the opportunity to enjoy a more relaxed suburban lifestyle while remaining within easy reach of central London.
