Very large secluded west-facing rear garden, approximately 220' long
Six reception rooms plus games room — excellent entertaining potential
Double garage and wide driveway with multiple off-street parking spaces

Very expensive council tax — factor into running costs
Set deep within the gated Keston Park private estate, this substantial five-bedroom detached house sits on a very large, secluded plot of approximately 220' x 97' with a westerly aspect. The house currently provides more than 4,500 sq ft, six reception rooms, a games room, garage and extensive driveway parking — a rare footprint for family living and entertaining in this area.
The property has been extended over time and now offers a clear opportunity to reconfigure or redevelop to create a contemporary family layout or an exceptional showhome. The mature, treed boundaries and long lawned rear garden provide privacy and a tranquil outlook; paved seating, a summerhouse and decked areas already supply usable outdoor living space.
Important practical points: the house needs renovation throughout and assumes solid brick walls with no cavity insulation — buyers should budget for thermal and electrical upgrades, and some reconfiguration work. Broadband speeds and mobile reception are average-to-slow locally, and council tax is very expensive. These factors affect running costs and modernisation scope but also reflect the property's exclusive setting and strong redevelopment potential.
For families seeking space near good local schools, easy road access to the M25 and rail links from Orpington and Bromley South, this property combines plot scale and privacy with proximity to local amenities. Investors or builders will also note the size and flexibility of the footprint for conversion or substantial internal redesign.
