Summary - Oakwood Close, BR7 BR7 5DD
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious 1930s detached home on a large south-facing plot, close to Elmstead Woods station.
Exclusive cul-de-sac plot of approx 0.47 acres with mature frontage
Set back on an exclusive cul-de-sac, this 1930s detached family home sits on an impressive circa 0.47-acre plot with a sunny south-facing garden and mature woodland at the far end. The house retains strong period character – inglenook and miniature fireplaces, timber panelling, leaded windows and beamed ceilings – giving immediate charm and a comfortable living atmosphere. The main reception rooms are double-aspect and connect easily to the garden, lending themselves to family life and indoor-outdoor entertaining.
The property has been well maintained but offers clear scope to increase living space: there is potential to extend to the rear, into the loft or to the side subject to the usual consents, and one garage could be incorporated to create a larger kitchen/dining area. Practical benefits include off-street parking and a garage, three bathrooms, and a layout that yields around 1,863 sq ft and about 14 rooms in total – useful for growing families or flexible home-working.
Location is a genuine strength: Oakwood Close is a sought-after private road a short walk (about 0.5 miles) from Elmstead Woods station and close to Chislehurst village amenities and a selection of well-regarded schools. Quiet, low-crime surroundings, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband make the house convenient for both commuting and family routines.
Buyers should note the EPC rating of E, indicating the property is less energy-efficient than newer homes and may benefit from insulation or heating upgrades. Planning to extend will require the usual planning consents; there are no current permissions in place. Chain-free sale offers straightforward purchase potential for buyers wanting to move quickly and personalise a character home on a large plot.
