Full description
Enviably situated within just a short walk of gorgeous Chislehurst Village and the Ponds, this characterful two double bedroom semi detached period property, built circa 1881, boasts a mature east-facing garden to the rear and pretty gardens to the front. Well maintained by the current owner the house is offered with no onward chain. The property provides bright and spacious, well planned accommodation with a wealth of character appeal, sympathetically updated with modern interiors and neutral décor throughout. Flowing living space, including two separate reception rooms and a sunny conservatory, creates the perfect space for a growing family. With plenty of additional potential for extension, both to the ground floor and into the loft space, subject to the normal planning consents. Features include a light, spacious kitchen, large upstairs family bathroom, quality floor coverings, gas central heating, and (majority) double glazing.
Accommodation comprises entrance via Mead Road, leading into the central dining room with door to the garden and stairs rising to the first floor. To the front of the house, an inviting reception room with feature bay window and rustic fireplace, provides excellent space for relaxing and entertaining. To the rear, the separate kitchen/breakfast room comprises a range of matching white fronted wall and base units with Welsh slate work surfaces, incorporating a butler sink and further storage space. A rear conservatory enjoys attractive views over the mature garden. To the first floor, there are two well proportioned double bedrooms, plus a generous bathroom with white three piece suite. The loft space is boarded, has Velux windows, lighting, power and central heating. Currently providing ample storage it lends itself very well to full conversion, STPP.
Externally, the larger than average garden is laid mainly to circular lawn, with mature flower beds stocked with shrubs and perennials - the perfect space for summer evenings, with paved patio areas both to the house and to the far end of the garden. The garden also has potential and space to add a garage/parking space and/or home office if desired, subject to any relevant consents.
The property is conveniently located within easy access of Chislehurst station and numerous regular bus routes offering good connections to the surrounding area. Chislehurst is close-by for a variety of fashionable shops, bars and restaurants, with Sidcup, Orpington and New Eltham also within easy reach for a wider selection of shops and amenities. The area is also well served by good local schools, including sought after Mead Road Infants, and beautiful open spaces.
A few words from the owner:
This is the house that keeps on giving!
If you're raising a family or love entertaining, which we do, this is the house for you.
It's bigger than it looks from outside and has charm and personality.
As a home it is warm, light and comfortable. It has lots of storage space and considerable potential.
The garden is not overlooked and is sunny all day. We love the 'village' feel of the area, the variety of restaurants and the country walks on the doorstep.
It's testament to how much we've loved this house that we've been here, unbelievably, for 30 years!
