Manor Park, Chislehurst, Kent, BR7

Forming the greater portion of a substantial Victorian house (ground/first floor) it would be hard not to fall in love with this exquisite period property with its abundant architectural features, both inside and out, reflecting its late Victorian heritage. This has been a carefully maintained family home to the owners for 24 years and is impressively presented. At 2,914 sq ft this is a significant property with four elegant bedrooms and immense sweeping halls and reception rooms, viewing is essential here to appreciate its full glory.

Situated at the end of Manor Park in a tranquil position abutting an area of the National Trust woodland known as ‘The Gorse’, from which the building likely took its name, this is a stunning location affording delightful walks (or runs) around the neighbouring woodlands and fields. With all the local facilities of pretty Royal Parade just a 12 min walk and desirable local schools, this is a wonderful location.

Entering into the property via a vestibule area and into the majestic reception hall is a feast for the eyes with a grand curved staircase rising to a galleried landing above, rich oak floors, tall ceilings, painted wood panelling and deep ornate cornicing, architraves and skirtings.

This huge hall has seating areas and ample space for use in many ways as a room in its own right.

Both large and graceful reception rooms are a delight with enormous windows so the light just pours in. The wood flooring continues through these as do the tall ceilings and beautiful architectural details, and both rooms have feature fire surrounds (gas fire to the dining room, ornamental to the drawing room). The dining room has a bespoke floor to ceiling built in bookshelf/cupboard unit, traditional style radiators and a dado rail.

The kitchen includes an extensive range of Shaker style wall and floor cabinets topped with a wood surface. Along with the immense bay window, the stand out feature is the cobalt blue Lacanche stove and the decorating which reflects this striking colour.

A separate utility room, guest cloakroom and understairs storage completes the ground floor.

All bedrooms are on the first floor reached via the wide, sweeping stair case. The light continues to flood through from the large windows to the hall and the expansive galleried landing above.

The principal bedroom suite includes a bay window, a wall of built in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. This has a window and a corner bath tub with shower above. Bedroom two also features a bay window, built in wardrobes and has a fully tiled en suite shower room. Bedrooms three and four share the family bathroom, and three useful storage cupboards on the landing complete the first floor.

Externally the wonderful west facing 114’ wide rear garden is privately enclosed by tall hedging and a backdrop of mature trees. With an extensive area of lawn, established planting and delightful wrap around terrace, sitting out here is extremely enjoyable to appreciate the grounds and the beautifully detailed elevation of this stunning, locally listed property.

Furthermore there is a large shed and a summerhouse (currently set up as a gym) in the garden, and a single en bloc garage, separate large storage cupboard and parking to the front.
