This immensely handsome detached house (built c.1888) is an absolute must see. Presented in beautiful order with many inherent period features throughout, there is real elegance and substance to this fine family home which has been enjoyed by the owners for 25 years. Situated in a prime and convenient position a 1-min walk to local facilities (restaurants, pub, coffee house, groceries etc.) and a 5-min walk to Chislehurst station, this is a very special opportunity.

\rEnter through the covered porch and solid wide front door (with beautiful restored original Victorian lantern above) and you will start to appreciate the period details that feature through the house including the hallway arch with ornate corbels and the Victorian staircase with the large ornate starting newel (with large rail cap on top) and continuous stair rail twisting to the upper floors.

Furthermore you will find tall ceilings, picture rails, dado rails, detailed cornices and architraves, deep skirtings, original fireplaces and very large box frame double glazed sash windows.

The luxurious bespoke kitchen/breakfast room is by Chambers with rich beautiful walnut cabinets (including a pantry unit with marble shelf and power points), contrasting granite surfaces and splashback, integrated Siemens and Miele appliances, Sonos speaker system, under floor heating and a circular walnut breakfast table. A cosy seating area is arranged around the marble fireplace and a magnificent bay featuring the bay box sash windows and floor to ceiling double doors to the garden.

Off the kitchen is a particularly large boot room and utility area with butlers sink, fitted cabinets (including two pull-out larder units), granite surfaces, a further fridge/freezer, a boiler room (ideal for drying clothes), door to the garden and a cloakroom with skylight.

There are two magnificent receptions. The sitting room is a grand affair with large bay windows to the front, impressive ceiling height, ornate cornicing, picture rail, dado rail, wood flooring and focal point fireplace with typical late-Victorian geometric panelled design. The expansive dining room again has the Victorian architectural features along with a fireplace and access to an impressive cellar with spiral stairs.

There is a large window for light to pour in on the stairwell and to the first floor are three of the five bedrooms. Bedroom one is an ample size with a marble fireplace and an en suite shower room with window and under floor heating. Bedroom two also has large proportions and a marble fireplace. Bedroom three is currently fitted out as a bespoke home office/study with an extensive range of high-quality Neville Johnson cabinetry. The very large and attractive family bathroom has a stand-alone roll top bath, corner shower unit, considerable storage cupboards, attractive tiling and Amtico flooring.

On the second floor are bedrooms four and five. Both are significant in size and have air conditioning, and one has an additional ‘secret’ room which would be ideal as, for example, a dressing room. The final second floor room is a very large, fully tiled shower room with underfloor heating, roof light window and access to two large eaves storage areas.

Externally there is a significant gated frontage with parking for four cars and a recently refurbished garage with a boarded loft space (with ladder) for storage, and there is an EV charging point.

If a larger expanse of lawn is required the purchaser could re-landscape this 79' wide space to provide that.

This truly is a gem of a home which we highly recommend viewing to see this for yourself.
