This one-bedroom ground floor flat in Mickleham Close, Orpington, BR5 2SW, is listed for £185,000. The property is located in Cray Valley West, Bromley, offering proximity to several well-regarded primary schools, including Midfield Primary School (Outstanding Ofsted rating) and others with ‘Good’ ratings, all within approximately 1 kilometer. St Mary Cray train station is also within reasonable commuting distance (1.52km), making it accessible to those needing public transportation.

Inside, the flat appears generally clean and in a livable state. The kitchen and bathroom look relatively modern, though the flooring and overall aesthetic suggest it could benefit from a freshening up and some minor cosmetic upgrades. The provided images show what seems to be a basic, functional flat that would benefit from some updating.

The exterior of the property shows a relatively unremarkable brick structure. The garden is a notable point of concern; it appears overgrown and neglected, in need of considerable landscaping. The overall plot size is exceptionally small given the type of property.

In terms of pricing, the £185,000 asking price sits within a range of properties in Mickleham Close, yet further pricing analysis is limited by unavailable sqft data for neighboring properties. A comprehensive analysis of the market value would need to consider other properties with similar features, in a similar state of repair, in the immediate area to determine its precise standing. The flat’s small size and the condition of the garden may affect its appeal to potential buyers. Overall, this property appears to be a reasonable option, primarily for first-time buyers or investors, but requires consideration for additional renovation work to optimize its condition and market value.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
