Description
A rare Victorian gem in the very heart of Longfield Village is offered to the market chain free and ready to welcome its next custodian. Dating from the late 1800's, this striking semi-detached residence showcases all the charm and elegance of its period, retaining lots of its original features, with some ornate fireplaces, picture rails, decorative cornicing and wall mouldings, yet the home now offers a stylish combination of period features and contemporary class.
Set back in an elevated position, approached via a walled block paved driveway providing space for two to three vehicles, the handsome façade, complete with bay windows and decorative brickwork, sets the scene for what lies within.
Stepping through the door, the grand entrance hall immediately impresses with its generous proportions, high ceilings, and individually laid Oxford style tiling that nods to the home’s Victorian heritage. From here, three versatile reception rooms unfold, each with its own character. The bay fronted sitting room is flooded with natural light, while the rear family room / snug opens onto the garden through French doors, perfect for summer entertaining. A separate dining room links directly to the refitted kitchen, where thoughtful design meets everyday practicality. The galley-style layout is enhanced by a butler sink, integrated appliances, and an adjoining utility area, with the added benefit of a ground floor shower room.
On the first floor, the property delivers three well proportioned double bedrooms, all retaining original fireplaces and period detailing. The principal bedroom enjoys a bay window and bespoke wardrobes, while the rear bedrooms take in delightful views across the spacious garden.
Throughout, the home has been finished to a high standard, with Amtico flooring, shuttered windows, Italian wool carpets on the stairs and landing, and sympathetic double glazing that enhances efficiency without compromising character.
The garden is without doubt one of the home’s finest features. Stretching to around 120ft and west facing, it has been thoughtfully landscaped to create defined areas for relaxation and play. A newly laid sandstone patio provides the perfect entertaining space, while lawns and pathways lead to a rear gate offering direct pedestrian access into the village. From here, Longfield’s excellent amenities are just moments away, including Waitrose, Co-op, Costa Coffee, the Post Office, and a selection of eateries.
Practical updates such as a modern gas central heating system, upgraded wiring, and a large loft ideal for storage or potential conversion (STPP) ensure the property is ready for modern living. With Longfield Station just a short walk, offering direct services into London Victoria and Bromley South, excellent local schooling with grammar school coach routes, swift road links to the A2, M25, M20 and M2, as well as Bluewater Shopping Centre and Ebbsfleet International within easy reach, the location is as convenient as it is desirable.
With its perfect blend of Victorian detailing and contemporary refinement, this is a home of history, elegance, and convenience. Properties of this period and calibre rarely come to market in Longfield and with no forward chain, early viewing is strongly advised.
