Nestled amid sweeping open farmland and positioned along a tranquil country lane, this enchanting semi detached cottage offers the perfect blend of rural serenity and town side convenience. Beautifully appointed and rich in character, this charming home is perfectly tailored for professional couples, downsizers, or those seeking a peaceful lifestyle without sacrificing access to amenities. Just over three miles from the vibrant centre of Orpington, the cottage combines the grace of period architecture with well-considered modern updates.
Set over two well-proportioned floors and extending to approximately 861 sq ft, the property offers elegant yet flexible accommodation with further potential to extend (subject to the usual planning consents). The interiors are warm and inviting, showcasing original features such as character fireplaces, and are finished in a tasteful, neutral palette.
The ground floor welcomes you into a cosy sitting room complete with a striking brick fireplace, flowing through to a thoughtfully designed shaker-style kitchen with quality fittings. A separate dining room provides an ideal space for entertaining, while a utility room with patio doors opens directly to the garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys glorious dual-aspect views across the countryside, a charming feature fireplace, and fitted storage, creating a peaceful retreat. A well-appointed shower room with a double walk-in shower and a second bedroom—ideal as a guest room or home office—complete the upper level.
Outside, the home sits within a generous south-east facing garden, primarily laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees and shrubs that provide both beauty and privacy. A gravel driveway offers ample parking, while the brick-built shed, summerhouse, and outdoor WC add practicality and charm to this delightful setting.
The property is situated on Gorse Road, a quiet rural lane just 3.1 miles from Orpington town centre, which offers a comprehensive range of amenities including High Street shops, supermarkets, and leisure facilities. Nearby attractions include Priory Gardens, Orpington Golf Centre, and Knoll Tennis Club.
Education provision is excellent, with well-regarded schools such as Chelsfield Primary, Harris Academy, Brown’s School, and the renowned St Olave’s Grammar School all within easy reach. Chelsfield (2.5 miles) and Orpington (3.1 miles) rail stations provide fast and frequent services into Central London, including Canary Wharf, in approximately 20 minutes, while convenient access to the M25 at Junction 4 makes commuting by car equally effortless.
