A striking and deceptively spacious family residence, “Martindale”, set in one of Chelsfield Lane’s more coveted addresses, backing onto open fields, yet conveniently located for Orpington station and local amenities. Originally a single-storey dwelling, it was comprehensively transformed in 2004, and now offers approximately 2,259 sq ft of thoughtfully configured accommodation over two levels, with flexibility in mind for changing household needs.

Interior
From the moment you arrive, the solid oak flooring in the entrance hall flows seamlessly into the reception rooms, giving a sense of continuity and warmth. The ground floor currently comprises three separate reception rooms. The front reception area, with the proximity to a modern threepiece shower room, could easily serve as bedrooms four and five, making this a true flexible living home.
The large principal rear sitting room is a bright and elegant space with a feature stone fireplace and double doors opening directly into the garden. The kitchen/dining room is a commanding layout, with two sets of double doors granting direct access to the garden. A hand-made solid oak kitchen with granite worksurfaces, including a range cooker, forms the heart of this space, complemented by a large central island ideal for family gatherings and entertaining. A separate utility room provides further convenience with external access.
Upstairs, the first floor hosts three double bedrooms, all fitted with wardrobes. The master bedroom benefits from a modern en-suite shower room. A generous family bathroom completes this level.

Outside & Setting
The rear garden is a standout feature, enjoying a south-easterly aspect and stretching approximately 185 ft in length. Immediately adjoining the property is a landscaped seating terrace, beyond which lies an expansive lawn flanked by a timber outbuilding. The sense of privacy is enhanced by the backing onto open countryside.
To the front, a gravel drive offers ample off-road parking for several vehicles and leads to a tandem garage with direct access.

Location & Transport
The property sits close to Orpington Station, which offers fast services to central London in about 15 minutes. Also close by is Orpington High Street, with its vibrant mix of shops, cafes, restaurants, and leisure amenities. The strategic proximity to the M25 (Junction 4) further adds ease for commuting and longer distance travel.
