Spacious gated-family home with pool, outbuilding and high-spec kitchen.
Four double bedrooms each with an ensuite bathroom
Set within the gated Farnborough Park community, this substantial mock-Tudor detached home delivers generous, family-focused living across three floors. Four double bedrooms each have an en suite, including a wide principal suite with walk-in wardrobe and Juliet balcony. The large Stoneham kitchen-diner with vaulted ceiling and full-height sliding doors creates excellent indoor-outdoor flow for family meals and entertaining.
Outdoor living is a standout: professionally landscaped gardens, two sun terraces and a heated swimming pool with electric cover provide private, low-maintenance leisure space. A pavilion-style outbuilding currently used as a gym offers flexible space for a studio, games room or pool house. Practical features include an integral garage, wide block-paved driveway and useful utility room.
High-spec finishes run through the house — Oak doors and staircase, travertine flooring, underfloor heating and premium kitchen fittings — but there are some important practical points to note. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and the property’s solid brick walls are understood to have no added insulation. Broadband speeds are reported as slow. Council tax is very expensive.
This is an attractive choice for families seeking space, privacy and easy commuting: Orpington station is about 1.5 miles away with fast links to central London, and several highly regarded state and grammar schools are nearby. Buyers should budget for potential insulation or glazing upgrades and factor in running costs associated with a large, period-style home.
