Set within an imposing Grade II listed mansion, this exceptionally large penthouse blends late‑Victorian character with a comprehensive contemporary renovation. The apartment occupies the upper floor and benefits from high ceilings, expansive rooms and generous natural light, creating comfortable family living and entertaining space. A newly fitted shaker kitchen with island, updated bathrooms, improved electrics and heating plus secondary glazing deliver move‑in readiness while retaining period detail.
The home includes three double bedrooms, a principal suite with en‑suite and built‑in wardrobes, a flexible adjoining room off bedroom two, and plentiful storage including a boarded, insulated loft. Outside, residents enjoy a south‑facing communal garden, gated access from Camden Park Road and secure parking with a garage and two spaces — a rare combination close to Chislehurst Village (about 0.7 miles).
Practical points are straightforward: the long lease and share of freehold give strong tenure security, broadband and mobile coverage are good, and the area is affluent with low crime and excellent schools nearby. Annual service charge is c. £2,700 and council tax sits above average (Band E), both important ongoing costs to factor into ownership.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status. That protects character but brings limitations on alterations and may affect future works, consents and cost. Also, while much of the apartment has been refurbished, any further reconfiguration will require listed‑building consents. Overall, this is a rare, spacious period penthouse offering turnkey comfort and long‑term tenure in a highly desirable Chislehurst setting.
