Privately positioned behind electric gates with a deep, elegantly landscaped frontage dotted with box hedging and pretty pleached trees, the approach is very enticing. A look up will give you a hint of the principal bedroom suite with balcony overlooking the cricket ground.
A grand reception hall awaits inside with gorgeous polished plaster walls around a central staircase which has feature lighting. A vaulted ceiling and large glass doors and windows let the light flood in and large format floor tiles run through. Underfloor heating gives warmth to these and this extends across the whole house. The ground floor features Lutyens lighting, and Sonos speakers ensure the whole floor and the garden can be set up in party/entertaining mode.
Reception space is extensive starting with a snug and sitting room to the front. Six windows, roof lights and large glass doors to the garden ensure this is a bright and airy space. Electric blinds and an attractive limestone fireplace are additional features.
Also to the front with a very pleasing outlook is another large reception room currently used as an office. There is ample space for two plus work stations and a wall of cupboards gives valuable built in storage space (which is a constant asset at this house).
Its hard to express just how magnificent the kitchen/breakfast/dining room and two connected conservatories are. The main room extends to 688 sq ft and then the conservatories add another 204 sq ft to this incredible space. As you would expect the fit out is exceptional with Italian Molteni Dada cabinets, Miele and Gaggenau appliances (including a bank of two ovens, microwave, plate warmer, and steamer; induction hob, teriyaki grill, double full height fridge and single full height freezer) plus a Zip tap and electric blinds. Breakfast seating is catered for at the central island and to one side of the room the dining space is ample for large family/friends gatherings, or entertaining on a grand scale.
The two conservatories ensure the garden can be enjoyed year-round and a central courtyard is formed between them creating a natural outdoor dining area. The kitchen/dining room has full height bi fold doors which open to create complete inside/outside space for entertaining and enjoyment.
A guest cloakroom and a laundry room with Miele appliances and a chute from the upstairs laundry, complete the ground floor.
Head to the first floor and walk straight forward through double doors into a wonderful bedroom suite which is currently set up as a wellness room showing just how versatile the accommodation is here which can be adapted by the buyer to suit their own needs.
Three further bedroom suites on this floor include a dressing room and an en suite shower room, and the fifth bedroom has an en suite bathroom and built in wardrobes. All the bedrooms are large and the bathrooms are of course to a luxury standard. With practicality in mind as is evident throughout the house, there is a second laundry room on the first floor with Miele appliances and the clothes chute to the laundry room below.
The second floor is devoted to the grandest principal suite where you can enjoy sitting out on two balconies. The front one overlooks the cricket ground and the rear one is especially private and includes a jacuzzi. The plush bedroom area is a very spacious 640 sq ft and the en suite includes an Effegibi steam room shower, dual basins, private WC and a freestanding curve edge bath, all with a lantern roof light above. A dressing area and considerable fitted eaves cupboards provide extensive storage.
Air cooling is installed in all bedrooms and the principal suite to ensure a comfortable environment when the sun comes.
The garden has been designed for ease of use and maximum enjoyment including artificial grass, a 270 sq ft gym outbuilding and a heated 38 lap pool. Two stunning BBQ kitchen areas are designed to cope with English weather having heaters and integral electric blinds to give some enclosure when needed. Mature landscaping and two water features create a private and attractive backdrop.
Extensive storage units are cleverly integrated to the front and there is space should the buyer wish to add a garage.
Picturesque Cricket Ground Road is a lovely enclave in the heart of beautiful Chislehurst by the Chislehurst and West Kent Cricket Club ground and just a few moments from Chislehurst Golf Club and abundant green open common land.
Further benefits of this ideal location include easy commuting with Chislehurst station only about a 0.5-mile walk (with fast trains to London taking from just 19 minutes) and there is an excellent selection of state and private schools. Local Chislehurst Village and Royal Parade are each about a 10-minute walk away where you can enjoy a selection of day-to-day shops, individual boutiques, health and beauty facilities and a good range of restaurants, coffee shops and local pubs.
