Set back with ample parking to the front and electric gates the house has presence on the road. A white blossom tree looks stunning in the spring.
On entering it is immediately evident this is a significant property. Striking large format floor tiles are a feature here and the oak doors and oak stair well add warmth and show quality. There is a guest cloakroom and understairs storage.
You are drawn ahead to the magnificent kitchen/dining/family room which is the heart of the home. The kitchen section has a wonderful range of sleek, contemporary, gloss handleless units and a grey quartz surface with waterfall edges to the central island. Appliances include two double ovens, American style fridge/freezer, dish washer, Quooker tap and a five-ring gas hob with concealed extractor fan. The designer ceiling includes down lighters and pendant points over the island, and the grey marl finish is picked up on one wall as a very attractive accent feature.
There is significant space for a full dining suite and a family lounge seating area as well. This is a wonderful hub for day-to-day living and also makes a fabulous entertaining space where you can spill out and make full use of the south facing garden with two sets of bi fold doors to create a great indoor/outdoor space and connect to the living room as well.
Usefully a utility room leads off the kitchen to take care of the family’s laundry and there is wiring for CCTV.
From the hall, double glass panel oak doors open to the 27’ main reception room which runs the depth of the house. The drop panel ceiling lighting, media wall and black accents give detail to the room and wide bi fold doors open to the south facing garden where the patio connects to the kitchen adding to the ease of summer entertaining.
A further large room to the ground floor offers exceptional flexibility as this could be a bedroom, office, play room, den or whatever a family needs.
Four bedrooms are to the first floor via the glass panel oak stairwell. The large landing has a built-in cupboard and all the bedrooms are of a large size and include down lighters, comfy carpet and window dressings.
The double aspect principal suite is over 21’ plus a luxury en suite. This has a wide walk-in shower, contemporary vertical chrome panel radiator and twin basins set on a storage unit with a marble surround mirror and shelf above. It would be very straightforward to create a dressing room/walk-in wardrobe to one end of the room by adding a stud wall.
Bedroom two also has a luxury en suite with a walk-in shower and feature marble tiling. The third bedroom is very spacious and overlooks the front. Finally bedroom four is to the rear and includes a wall of wardrobes.
The plush family bathroom has both a large walk-in shower and a bath, and the basin is set into a drawer unit with a mirror above. Designer tiling adds detail and there is a window for fresh air and light.
If you did want even more space there is potential for a loft conversion (subject to planning). A previous application for two en suite bedrooms in the loft was approved in 2014 (now expired) and this can be seen on the Bromley borough planning portal under Ref. No: 13/04220/FULL6
The location is very convenient just a 3 min drive to all the charming facilities of Royal Parade and another couple of minutes onto Chislehurst Village High Street. A 6 min drive will take you to Petts Wood station and shops, or you can walk to St Mary Cray station in 13 mins. Local schools include Farringtons, Bromley High, Coopers, St Olaves and Newstead Woods.
