This Tudor Revival detached house sits on a large plot within the private, conservation-designated Keston Park estate. The property keeps original character—oak beams, timber framing and a pitched roof—while offering family-friendly spaces including two reception rooms, a large kitchen/dining area and substantial grounds with a heated swimming pool.
Practical benefits include a double garage, an adjoining gym with sauna and chain-free freehold ownership. There is clear scope to refurbish and extend (subject to planning, STPP), which makes the house appealing for buyers who want to personalise accommodation or add value. Excellent mobile signal, nearby good schools and easy access to Orpington rail link support everyday family life.
Buyers should note some material trade-offs. The house dates from 1930–1949 with solid brick walls and assumed lack of cavity insulation, so energy efficiency upgrades are likely. Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal. The listing data records one bathroom for a four-bedroom house (please verify full layout and en-suite provision). A sympathetic refurbishment will be required to modernise systems and finish if contemporary standards are desired.
Overall, this is a characterful family home in a prestigious, secure enclave with strong potential for improvement and extension. It will suit purchasers seeking privacy, space and the opportunity to remodel within one of Kent’s most established private estates.
