Set on a half-acre plot and with a 108' x 70' front garden the house sits nicely back from the unmade road. Approached via a private drive behind railings and wrought iron gates there is parking for multiple cars and access to the large garage.
The rear south facing garden which extends to 230' gives a park like setting and lovely views to the rear. It's hard to believe you are in the middle of Bickley.
Enter the house and you will find a calm, contemporary layout providing individual but connected rooms which flow effortlessly into each other, making this both a relaxed family home and a great entertaining space. The light and openness here make this a very enjoyable environment overall.
Significant features include modern double glazed Crittall windows, roof lights, traditional style radiators, Quooker boiling water tap, Sonos ceiling speakers, under floor heating to the bathrooms and much more.
The kitchen and sitting room extend across the rear of the house with a large expanse of sliding doors creating a level and completely connected indoor outdoor space. The uninterrupted outlook opens up to a 1,000 square foot patio and garden beyond.
An extensive range of low-level cabinets keep a minimalist feel to the kitchen but still pack a punch with the amount of storage provided. These are topped with a Corian work surface and the extensive central island provides ample everyday dining space.
A more formal dining room is in the front reception room accessed by both the hall and sitting room. The sitting room of some 914 sq ft is arranged under a large lantern roof light adding to the uplifting feel of the house.
A further reception room is currently used as an office, and what a pleasure it would be to work from home here!
A utility room, large store room, guest cloakroom and lobby giving access to the garage completes the ground floor accommodation.
When the current owners extended the house they were going to convert the garage into a further reception room and build a detached double garage to the front, which they achieved planning for at the time (the planning has now lapsed).
All five bedrooms are to the first floor and as you would anticipate, all are beautifully presented.
The principal suite is a significant 225 sq ft plus dressing room and en suite bathroom. A large window overlooking the rear garden and two roof lights ensure this is a bright space, and the vaulted ceiling adds interest. The en suite includes a freestanding low profile curved bath tub and walk-in shower.
There is a shower en suite to bedroom two along with significant storage. The remaining bedrooms each have built in wardrobes and use of the family shower room which has a contemporary suite with walk-in shower and feature tiling.
The house is conveniently situated with a few local shops, coffee shop and pub at Widmore Green only a 6-minute walk away. Alternatively Lower Camden with more facilities is a 20 minute walk, as is Bromley in the other direction with all it has to offer.
