Set on a very large, mature plot in the Chancery Lane Conservation Area, this substantial Edwardian detached home offers family-sized living across approximately 3,444 sq ft. The house presents three reception rooms, six bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus attic accommodation—providing flexible space for multi-generational living, home offices or hobby rooms. The standout 129-foot south-facing garden and double garage with large driveway are rare for the area and ideal for outdoor entertaining and secure parking.
The property retains strong period character—bay windows, high ceilings and prominent chimneys—yet the interior would benefit from modernisation to meet contemporary standards. Solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and traditional heating mean energy performance may be lower than modern homes; improving insulation and services would unlock comfort and running-cost savings. There is planning potential to extend subject to permission, but the Conservation Area status will affect what changes are allowed.
Practical benefits include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and strong transport links to central London via Beckenham Junction. Outstanding and well-regarded schools are within easy reach, making the location attractive to families. Council tax is noted as quite expensive, and buyers should factor likely retrofit costs and any Conservation Area constraints into budgets and plans.
In short, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a roomy, characterful Edwardian house on an exceptional plot in a very affluent neighbourhood—suited to buyers seeking period charm, generous outside space and the scope to modernise and personalise a standout family home.
