The Old Lodge House, 21 Old Manor Way, BR7

The Old Lodge House is located in Old Manor Way, a secluded cul-de-sac which sits off of Elmstead Lane in north Chislehurst. This property is situated in a quiet corner of the cul-de-sac surrounded by private mature woodland, a share of which belongs to The Old Lodge House. For drivers, the A20 is less than 5 minutes away and the M25 a further 5 minutes also. Elmstead Woods railway station is a 7 minute walk away and trains to central London take just 22 minutes. Elmstead Lane is served by the 314 bus to Bromley just 10 minutes away, where you’ll find its large shopping centre with numerous dining and entertainment options.
We enter the property into a lobby, off of which we find 3 rooms. A wc to our left, forward into a delightful dining room (20ft by 11ft) but it is when you turn right and enter the stunning and extremely spacious (25ft by 16ft) centrepiece living area that you begin to get the feeling that this is quite an extraordinary house.
We continue through the living room to a second large reception room (16ft by 16ft) which like all of the rooms in the entire house, benefits from having large windows giving a healthy amount of natural light and with it, a feeling of freshness throughout.
A beautiful conservatory area (measuring 8ft by 15ft) can be accessed both from the main living area and also the second reception room. If you are beginning to wonder where to prepare food for all of the guests for your housewarming party, the large (16ft by 9ft) kitchen can also be found off of the centrepiece living area and features include solid oak fittings and a stylish butler sink.
Moving upstairs we find 4 x good sized bedrooms (with the ‘main’ bedroom enjoying ensuite facilities), a bathroom / wc and a considerable eaves space to make with whatever your creative side decides. All upstairs rooms have large windows and the whole floor has a feeling of freshness, with ample space and plenty of natural light.
If you are wondering whether a house like this comes with a garden befitting its quality, you will not be disappointed. A large secluded garden with mature trees and plants envelopes the back and sides of the house with abundant lawn space to accommodate family and friends.
Moving back to where we began at the front of the house, you will find a detached fully electric double garage.
This house not only looks good and has character but also feels good and it is not hard to imagine yourself moving in and staying for the rest of life.
This is definitely a fine ‘country home’ but conveniently situated just 12 miles from central London. The local area has hundreds of acres of established woodland, beautiful Chislehurst common and numerous established sport and leisure facilities within a short drive. Further, first class schools, both state and privately funded, are within a short distance.
We have no more superlatives left to describe this property save to say that it would be a fine purchase and one that you would not regret.
It’s a must-see property; please get in touch and talk to us about a viewing.
