Internally this boasts a large open plan lounge to the back of the property which in turn leads to a delightful kitchen.

Crayford is within the London Borough of Bexley, yet shares its postcode with the nearby Dartford. Crayford over years past has undergone some major redevelopments with its town centre being rejuvenated yet keeping some original charm and some newly built housing developments breathing new life into the community.
There's a huge retail outlet in addition to one of the nation’s largest Sainsbury’s. If you fancy a night out then why not consider a dog racing night. Yes, Crayford even has its own dog track which is famous across the nation.
Even travelling to London could not be any simpler. This is the last train station that just creeps into the zones being within zone 6. The 96 bus route runs straight through the middle of Crayford. One way the nearby Bluewater shopping centre and the other to Bexleyheath town centre. Some may say that Crayford is central to all things nice, and owning a home here could be like owning your very own slice of heaven.
