Set over three well-proportioned levels, this 2,500 sq ft detached home offers flexible family living in a highly sought Chislehurst location. The layout includes five double bedrooms, a large dual-aspect living room, and an extended kitchen/dining space that opens to a generous, westerly-level garden — ideal for afternoon sun and family outdoor living. Ample off-street parking and a privately screened front garden add everyday convenience and kerb appeal.
The house is bright and practical, with engineered wood floors, a handmade solid oak and glass staircase, and useful built-in storage and eaves space. Principal bedroom accommodation includes a dressing area and a luxury en-suite with double-ended bath and walk-in shower. Ground- and lower-ground-level rooms offer scope for multi-generational arrangements or home working, with one bedroom currently used as a gym/office.
Practical details to note: the property is freehold, mains gas-heated via boiler and radiators, and has fast broadband and excellent mobile signal in the area. There is a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) covering three trees on the front boundary and the water supply is metered. Council tax is described as quite expensive — worth factoring into ongoing costs.
This is a comfortable, well-presented family house in an affluent, low-crime neighbourhood, only a 3-minute walk to Elmstead Woods station (Zone 4) and close to several well-regarded schools. The home will suit families seeking space, excellent transport links and easy access to local schools, while buyers seeking a fully modernised specification should note some elements (double glazing install date unknown) may benefit from updating.
