Romsey Close, Orpington, BR6 7WE

Property Reference JD0226

Situated in a cul-de-sac consisting of just five homes, lies this detached four bedroom, two bathroom detached residence. 

Built in 1988 and having been a much loved home by the current owners since new, we are pleased to present this home to market for the first time. 

Accommodation is arranged over two storeys, with two reception rooms, conservatory, kitchen, laundry room and cloakroom to the ground floor and four well proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms to the first floor. 

Further benefits include a double garage, off street parking, low maintenance garden and an enviable location for sought after schools. 

Approached via a tarmac driveway and brick paved foot path which takes you past a well stocked curved area of planting before reaching the front door. 

Upon entering you are you greeted by an entrance lobby which gives way to a cloakroom to the left and the hallway directly ahead. 

The hallway draws natural light from the first floor window that sits above the staircase. To the right of the hallway you enter a the newly fitted kitchen. The traditional yet stylish cream shaker style units compliment the wood effect counter tops and tiled splash back, with a herringbone design vinyl floor completing the look. The kitchen benefits from a double oven, four burner gas hob, integrated fridge freezer and plumbing for a dishwasher. Beyond the kitchen you will find a sizeable laundry room with plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble drier as well as additional storage, sink and access out to the garden to the rear and the double garage to the front. 

The double garage features electric up and over doors, lighting & power and adequate space for two medium sized cars as well as storage. 

Back through to the hallway you will find the two reception rooms. There is a formal dining room which sits to the rear of the property with views over the garden with space for a dining table and dresser and a sitting room which runs the full depth of the property. 

The sitting room enjoys a front aspect and sliding patio doors to the rear which open onto the conservatory/garden room allowing for an additional seating area from which to enjoy a book or simply relax looking out over the garden. 

Upstairs the semi-galleried landing feeds four bedrooms and the family bathroom.

To the left you will find the guest bedroom which would allow for a four foot double bed if required while benefiting from fitted wardrobes and space for a freestanding dressing table.

Beyond the front bedroom you will find another double bedroom with a rear aspect which the owners have utilised as a large home office space. The room benefits from fitted wardrobe much like the bedroom which sits to the front. 

Before reaching the master suite you will find a single bedroom, the proportions would make an ideal room for a younger child. 

The master suite has two fitted wardrobes and complimentary fitted furniture providing additional hanging space and storage over the bed. To the front you will find a modern fully tiled en-suite with a corner shower enclosure, pedestal hand basin and enclosed cistern w.c. 

The family bathroom was re-fitted at the same time as the en-suite with the owners preferring to remove the bath in favour of a large shower enclosure, vanity enclosed hand-basin and an enclosed cistern w.c, giving an uncluttered modern feel to the room. 

To the rear of the property you will find the landscaped garden which has been designed to offer a low maintenance space from which to socialise . An area of patio steps up to additional hard standing paved area  and a central circular patio with shingle surround. The garden is flanked by a curved brick wall and mature hedges which add to the feeling of privacy. 

Romsey Close sits adjacent to Darrick Wood from where you can pick up the The Darrick and Newstead Woods Nature Trail, allowing access to 25 Hectares of Woodland and Meadows. The trail will take you onto Tubbenden Recreation Ground with its playground and skate park. Tubbenden Meadows (located beyond the playground) is a great spot for sledging on a winters day or walking the family dog.  Those looking for a longer walk, you can cross the A21 at the junction of Tubbenden Lane and pick up the path in Farrow Fields, which you can follow to High Elms Country Park.
