With Kelsey Park and popular shops by the Park Langley roundabout very much "on the doorstep", this CHAIN FREE age restricted flat, for residents over 60, is on the second floor (no floor above at this end of building) with LIFT ACCESS. Positioned at the front of the block giving a sunny westerly aspect in the sitting room and bedroom but, unlike many, this property also has south facing double glazed windows in the living room and kitchen, providing plenty of natural light. The entrance hall has an entryphone/intercom for communication with the resident house manager (weekday mornings) or emergency monitoring. The flat is priced to reflect scope for updating as we expect buyers may wish to improve the kitchen and bathroom as well as redecorate, giving them the opportunity to make personal choices to their own tastes.

Conveniently located for the Tesco Express by the Park Langley roundabout and popular shops on Wickham Road providing a chemist, newsagent, delicatessen, coffee shops, bakery and off licence with post office.  Bus route 162 runs along Wickham Road for Bromley, Chislehurst and Beckenham High Street.  Kelsey Park provides an attractive walk to Beckenham High Street, about three quarters of a mile away and from Beckenham Junction there are trains to Victoria and The City as well as trams to Croydon and Wimbledon.

As an independent network of estate agents we provide: Sales Lettings New Homes Land and Development Not just local branches, local people too Proctors is much more than a full service estate agency; we’re passionate about property and the community in which we live. Between the London Borough of Bromley, Anerley and Shirley we’ve got the best shops, schools, parks and cafés, and a whole bunch of charm and vibrancy. South East London is a brilliant place to be - even if we do say so ourselves - and we’re keen to keep it that way. That’s why at Proctors we invest in the local community - sponsoring sports clubs, charities, school fêtes and local initiatives. We live, work and breathe London life.

In fact, over 70 years after George Proctor founded the company, some branches are still run by members of the Proctor family.  A personal approach Proctors branches span a wide area of South East London, including Beckenham, Bromley, West Wickham, Park Langley, Petts Wood and Chislehurst, through to Shirley in Croydon and Anerley. Proctors is big enough to offer the resources of a large estate agency but small enough to care. You can be sure of a personal touch, plus the support of our network of agents. And because our agents aren't incentivised on individual commission, you can be sure they are dedicated to getting the job done with your best interests at heart. It’s no surprise our customers return to us again and again.
