Summary - 5 WELLS ROAD, BICKLEY, BROMLEY BR1 2AJ
6 bed 3 bath Detached
Substantial plot with pool and extension potential in sought-after Chislehurst.
Double-fronted detached on a large, established plot with swimming pool
Set on a large, established plot in Chislehurst, this double-fronted detached house offers substantial family living and clear scope for improvement. The ground floor includes three reception rooms and a kitchen-diner with a separate utility, while six bedrooms and three bathrooms are arranged over the upper floors. An established rear garden with a swimming pool, spacious patio, driveway and detached double garage add outdoor and parking appeal.
The house was built in a mock-Georgian style by the vendor’s late father (construction period recorded 1967–1975) and retains period-inspired proportions. There is potential to extend or reconfigure the layout to create a master suite or larger living areas, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents — ideal for buyers seeking renovation upside or bespoke family accommodation.
Buyers should note practical realities: the property will benefit from updating and some maintenance (roof and garage cleaning apparent), walls are cavity-built with assumed no added insulation, and broadband speeds in the area are reported slow. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These points affect running costs and immediate outlay but are balanced by a very large plot, low local crime, excellent mobile signal and a very affluent neighbourhood with nearby top-performing schools.
For families attracted to green space and good schools, the location is strong — short walks to Chislehurst Common and easy rail links to central London. Investors or developers with planning appetite will value the plot size and extension potential. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the scale and scope for improvement.
