Some words from the owner:
What made you want to buy the property?
Ultimately we wanted a bigger family home in the catchment of all of the excellent nearby schools. We instantly loved the light open feel of the house, especially the downstairs living area and kitchen in particular as we love entertaining and cooking. We have made significant improvements to the house since buying (made more open plan, converted the garage to create larger additional reception room, improved & extended kitchen, modernised, remodeled utility and WC). We liked the size of the driveway (which we also extended by paving) as it is set back from the road to offer privacy and security, but also that the house is just a very short 3 minute walk to the station for easy access to London and other parts of Kent.
We liked that our children had a safe space to play outside in the garden when growing up, and a place for us to enjoy sitting outdoors, yet the garden is also low maintenance and a peaceful little oasis.
What do you love most about your property?
The open, airy feel of the downstairs living area - this is where we spend most of our time with family and friends socialising. The outbuilding in the garden: I love spending every day out there, looking at the garden and the little birds that visit.
What do you love about the area?
There are wonderful schools nearby - where our children attended and easy connections into London for those working in the City. We love the ease of getting to the countryside if we want with woodlands within walking distance such as Hawkwood Estate and Jubilee Park. Lots of great local parks with open space, such as Whitehall Rec which has a great path for children to ride their bikes and adults to walk. Lots of fab small businesses, pubs and restaurants within walking distance (Chislehurst, Bromley, Chatterton Road to name a few). Feels like you're in the countryside whilst being in London at the same time!
