St. Pauls Cray Road, Chislehurst, Kent, BR7

It is a true pleasure to offer this majestic Grade ll listed home which embodies the historic attraction of living in Chislehurst, moments from Royal Parade. Grandly providing 4500 sq ft in c.0.3 acres this includes six bedrooms, three bathrooms and immense reception space, all immaculately presented along with a glorious 125’ south west facing garden. Only on a viewing can you fully appreciate all this has to offer.

On approach you will immediately feel the imposing presence of this substantial house (designed in 1878 by George Somers Leigh Clarke) and notice the period architecture, detailed red brickwork, walled frontage with black iron railings and electric gates which lead to the drive (with turning circle) and detached double garage.

A covered porch entrance opens to a grand reception hall where the beauty of the interior is clearly evident. Solid oak herringbone parquet flooring, an open spindle curved staircase, tall ceilings, detailed cornicing and deep skirtings will all catch your eye, and many of these architectural gems run throughout the property. The guest cloakroom and a useful boot room are here as well.

The formal sitting room is huge at 377 sq ft and with the tall ceilings, intricate cornicing and ceiling rose, deep skirtings, dado rail, half wall panelling, traditional style radiators, grand fireplace, oak flooring and tall bay window overlooking the garden, this is a very elegant space.

The formal dining room is equally elegant with the same glorious proportions and architectural features and there is ample space for a dining suite and more.

A double aspect family room to the front gives another lounge space where the furniture can be arranged around the corner fireplace to create a more intimate space.

As you would imagine, the kitchen is of the highest order with bespoke pale grey Chamber Furniture cabinets in a Shaker style. White quartz surfaces with a waterfall finish to the central breakfast bar island gives a stylish finish.

Appliances include a wine cooler, induction hob, Quooker hot tap, double ovens and an American style fridge freezer. For comfort there is under floor heating which runs through to the separate breakfast room where there is additional dining space. Finally off the kitchen is a pretty private courtyard.

Three of the six double bedrooms are to the first floor, plus a study room, and the family bathroom.

The principal suite is impressive. It starts with a large fully fitted dressing room featuring floor to ceiling wardrobes, low level drawer units, a fireplace and space for additional furniture, such as a writing bureau, dressing table, sofa etc. Pretty wallpaper is another feature which runs through to the bedroom as well. The bedroom is very spacious and a few steps down lead to the en suite. Here large format tiles are a stylish feature and there is a shower cubicle, heated towel rail, wall hung basin set into a shelf with demist mirror above, and there is a window for fresh air and light. Access to a useful eaves storage cupboard is here as well.

The other double bedrooms each have fitted wardrobes, stylish accent wallpaper and fireplaces bringing interest and charm to these spaces. The family bathroom is stunning with a curved low-profile freestanding bathtub, a shower cubicle and twin basins set into a drawer cabinet, all offset with subway tiling.

Bedroom six is a single with a vaulted ceiling. This is currently used as a study or would make an ideal nursery or play room.

The second floor has the final two bedrooms and a bathroom. Both bedrooms are large doubles and include fitted wardrobes. A double size shower cubicle and a bath along with a traditional pedestal basin feature in the bathroom. Black and white floor tiles and coordinating wall tiles add a striking finish.

Finally, to note all window dressings are to remain and there is a boarded loft.

The private 125’ south west facing garden is a glorious feature. The landscaping is exceptional with a deep full width porcelain tiled patio overlooking a wide expanse of lawn which is surrounded by well planted borders with mature shrubs and trees.
