Set on the prestigious private Manor Park, this large two-bedroom period apartment feels more like a house thanks to its own front door, generous hallway and nearly 1,000 sq ft of living space. High ceilings, large windows and a double-aspect 18ft reception room flood the interior with light while stripped floorboards and country-style kitchen retain original character. A rare private garden and a nearby garage add practical outdoor space and secure parking.
The principal bedroom is particularly roomy (approx. 16ft x 15ft) with substantial built-in cupboards that could be removed to increase floor area. The property comes chain free with a long lease (931 years) and a share of freehold, which will appeal to buyers wanting control and low long-term lease costs. Local amenities include the cobbled Royal Parade, independent cafes and restaurants, plus easy access to Scadbury Park and extensive woodland walks.
Buyers should note material facts: the building is solid-brick pre-1900 construction with assumed lack of wall insulation, double glazing has an unknown install date and there is a single bathroom. A modest service charge of £300 is payable. These points mean some buyers may wish to budget for insulation or modernisation work to improve thermal performance and long-term running costs.
Overall, the apartment suits someone downsizing from a house who wants generous rooms, private outdoor space and period character in one of Chislehurst’s most sought-after streets, while accepting some improvement work may be needed to optimise comfort and efficiency.
