2 bed flat for sale

Mitchell Road, Orpington BR6

Agent Reference - JD0226

Situated within a popular residential development on Mitchell Road, this well-presented two-bedroom raised ground floor apartment offers a well-balanced combination of contemporary accommodation, useful garage space and off street parking.

The apartment is approached via the communal entrance, with a staircase taking you onto the raised ground floor accommodation which sits above the garages to the front.

Accommodation

At the heart of the property is a bright and versatile open-plan living room which opens onto the kitchen, while also allowing access to the bathroom and larger of the two bedrooms.

A particular feature of the living room is the bespoke media wall, providing a dedicated focal point and ready for a television to be wall mounted. The open-plan layout makes this an ideal space for entertaining or simply relaxing at the end of the day.

The kitchen is fitted with a good range of wall and base units, providing useful storage and worktop space. There is designated space for a freestanding fridge freezer together with plumbing for a washing machine, allowing the kitchen to retain a clean and uncluttered appearance.

There are two bedrooms, with the principal bedroom offering excellent storage in the form of fitted mirrored wardrobes. The second bedroom provides useful flexibility and would work equally well as a child’s bedroom, guest room, dressing room or dedicated home office — particularly appealing for those working remotely.

The bathroom has been thoughtfully modernised and provides a contemporary finish throughout. Marble-effect tiling creates a stylish backdrop, while recessed alcove storage offers a practical place for toiletries without compromising the clean lines of the room. A wall-mounted WC and matching vanity unit enhance the modern feel, while the bath benefits from a thermostatic shower over, providing the convenience of both bathing and showering facilities.

Tandem Garage & Parking

One of the property’s standout features is the large tandem garage, positioned at the front of the property. The garage benefits from both power and lighting, making it considerably more versatile than a conventional storage garage.

For those requiring additional space, it could provide an excellent home gym, workshop, hobby room or substantial storage facility, subject of course to any necessary permissions and the terms of the lease. There is also off-street parking directly in front of the garage, with additional on-street parking available.
