Description

Stunning 5 bedroom mews house with accommodation arranged over 4 floors each with access to an outside patio or balcony. Set within gated grounds of approximately 4 acres. Allocated parking and en-bloc garage.

This charming Victorian manor house is a notable historic residence best known as the former home of sailor and adventurer Sir Robin Knox-Johnston. Now converted to create six stunning mews houses, set in approximately 4 acres of gated grounds, on the edge of picturesque Downe Village.

The centre of Downe Village, protected by a conservation order, offers the benefits of rural living with the convenience of shops and restaurants in Locksbottom and train links into London from Orpington and Bromley South stations which are accessible via bus from the village centre. Also close by are woodland walks at High Elms Country Park plus West Kent and High Elms golf courses.

With well thought out accommodation set over four floors, each floor has access to an outside patio or balcony. The lower ground floor offers a large family room/bedroom, utility room and shower room. The space would make an ideal escape for an independant teenager. The main entrance hall, with a two piece cloakroom, is on the ground floor along with a stunning fitted kitchen/breakfast room with integrated appliances and a striking AGA plus an elegant sitting/dining room with double doors opening out to a paved seating area overlooking the communal grounds.

To the first floor is a luxurious master bedroom with a comprehensive range of fitted wardrobes, a modern three piece shower room and a feature bay flooding the room with natural light and offering stunning views to the rear. In addition there is a second double bedroom, again with fitted wardrobes, and a three piece family bathroom.

The second floor offers a number of options with two separate rooms, a modern three piece shower room and access to a large terrace with far reaching views. Currently used as a third bedroom and a home office.

The property also has the benefit of two allocated parking spaces and an en-bloc garage.

The spacious communal grounds, which are maintained weekly, are mainly laid to lawn with a backdrop of majestic mature trees and include a firepit, childrens play area, BBQ area and bin storage.
