Set on the prestigious private Manor Park, this spacious two-bedroom period apartment feels more like a house. Nearly 1,000 sq ft across a split first-floor layout, it offers high ceilings, abundant natural light and large rooms including an 18ft double-aspect reception and a 16ft x 15ft main bedroom with substantial built-in cupboards. The apartment has its own front door and direct access to a private garden, giving rare outdoor space for a property of this type.
Practical strengths include a share of freehold, a long lease (circa 931 years), chain-free sale and an included garage close by. The property sits in an affluent, well-connected area just a short stroll from the cobbled Royal Parade, cafes and restaurants, plus extensive greenbelt and woodland walks. Schools nearby include several Good-rated primaries and options for independent secondary education.
This is a period property with character features such as stripped floorboards and a country-style kitchen, but buyers should note some trade-offs. The building is solid brick with no known cavity insulation, double glazing installation date is unknown and as a pre-1900 construction it may require ongoing maintenance or sympathetic upgrades to heating and insulation. There is one bathroom and a below-average service charge of £300 per annum.
Overall this apartment will suit buyers seeking large, characterful accommodation in a prestigious Chislehurst location — ideal for couples or professionals who value garden access and a garage. Investors should note the single bathroom and the property’s family/owner-occupier appeal.
