Stalisfield Place, Downe, Orpington, BR6 7HN

Property Reference JD0226

Downe Village offers residents a balance of village life and open countryside with the convenience of being just 3.5 miles from a major town centre and commuter links. 

On approaching the property you will find an area of paved courtyard garden to the front, with a picket fence and gate  which takes you onto the double glazed upvc front door. 

The front door gives way to a spacious hallway which feeds the principle living accommodation and a conveniently located downstairs w.c. It is worth noting some owners have added a shower to the cloakroom to give a second bathroom. 

The hallway takes you onto the through reception which stretches from the front to the rear giving a bright dual aspect to the room. The owner has partitioned off the room with a non-structural divide to create designated living and dining areas. The dining area sits to the front while the sitting area sits to the rear benefitting from direct access onto the garden via double glazed French doors. 

Adjacent to the living area, you will find a modern fitted kitchen which also benefits from access onto the garden. The kitchen features cream gloss units, contrasting grey brick style tiled splash back and black granite work surfaces with a one and a half bowl sink, gas hob and electric oven. 

Back out onto the hallway an open staircase takes you onto the first floor landing and bedrooms. 

The three bedrooms are all well proportioned with the larger of the two doubles sitting to the front and a further double to the rear. The third bedroom is a generous single and features a fitted cupboard which sits over the staircase. 

The bedrooms are served by a three piece bathroom which features fully tiled walls and a three piece white suite with an electric power shower over the bath. 

Externally the rear garden features an area of lawn, patio, greenhouse and outbuilding with power and lighting. It is worth noting that the garden could provide off street parking if required and such a provision was previously in place but the access has subsequently been fenced off with a pedestrian gate providing access from the rear where you will find street parking.

 Downe Village is located in the North Downs and falls within the London Borough of Bromley. 

The area is most famously known as being home to Charles Darwin in the 1800's and the place where he wrote the Origin of Species. His former residence Down House is now an English Heritage site commemorating his life and work.  

Much of the centre of the village remains unchanged, with the former village school now being home to the village hall which sits adjacent to the thirteenth century church and opposite the George and Dragon public house. 

For those with young children, Downe Primary School is located 0.3 miles from the property ( 0.4 miles by road). The school is adjacent to Downe Recreation Ground where you will find a play area and green open space for children to play.
