Freehold

Description

Within a conservation area in Bromley, this detached house on Durham Avenue has been the subject of a complete reconfiguration the current owners. It sits on approximately a half-acre plot with an expansive rear garden, off-street parking for several cars, and a well-fitted garage. Internally it spans some 3,400 sq ft, with five bedrooms, a home office, a gym/cinema room and a playroom/snug. Rail services to London Victoria take 18 minutes from Bromley South station, with another direct service to Blackfriars.



The Tour



Set back from the street, this contemporary home has a white, waterproof rendered façade and a red-tiled roof. Its front door opens to a hallway, with convenient bespoke storage for coats and shoes. Underfloor heating has been fitted here and across the ground floor.



Beyond this is an expansive L-shaped, open-plan living and kitchen area. At the rear, floor-to-ceiling double-glazed sliding doors open to a grand terrace that acts as a threshold between inside and out.



Clean architectural lines are amplified by white-painted walls and wide engineered oak floorboards from Havwoods. A simple ribbon of glazing is installed above the living area, allowing natural light into both ends of the plan.



A bespoke-made Leicht kitchen with engineered concrete Caesarstone worktops and Siemens Studioline fitted appliances, including an induction hob and integrated extractor fan. A Blanco sink is fitted with a black mixer tap from Quooker. Fluted oak-faced cabinets hang above, with additional oak facing on the central waterfall island.



A snug, study, gym and cloakroom with Carrara marble finishes all extend from the main space, a configuration that balances open-plan sociability with accompanying quieter zones. Adjoining the kitchen is a pantry and a utility room with Corian worktops and direct garden access.



Ascending to the first floor, via striking stairs finished with engineered oak, are five double bedrooms, one of which is used by the current owners as a dressing room. Three have en suites, and there is an additional bathroom; all by CP Hart and have wall-hung vanities.



Outdoor Space



A porcelain terrace has a glass balustrade that overlooks approximately half an acre of lawned gardens arranged in an L-shape. Mature plants include evergreen conifer trees and raised beds stocked with olive trees.



There is off-street parking for several cars on the driveway. There is also an EV fast charging point within a double garage.



The Area



Bromley is one of London's greenest boroughs and has plenty of shops, cafés and restaurants. Bromley South is soon to undergo a regeneration scheme overseen by the Cathedral Group, a company known for its dedication to exceptional architecture. The development of St Mark’s Square, a large, landscaped public plaza, is a 15-minute walk away and includes a multiplex cinema, a hotel, retail outlets, cafés and restaurants.



Queen's Mead Recreation Ground is less than a mile away. The house is also close to the greenery of Fairacres Gardens, Norman Park Recreation Ground and Langley Park. A short drive away is Beckenham Place Park, a sprawling park with a historic mansion at its centre, built in the Palladian style. The park has become popular in recent years for its beautiful swimming lake.



Bromley South Station is just over two-thirds of a mile away, running frequent services to London Victoria in 18 minutes, as well as slightly longer services to Blackfriars.



Local schooling options are abundant, including Highfield Infant and Juniors, St Mark's Primary, Harris Primary Academy and Langley Park Secondary schools.

About The Modern House, London

Industry affiliations:

The Modern House is an estate agency that helps people live in more thoughtful and beautiful ways. We have been successfully selling Britain's finest modern architecture since 2005, representing design-led homes throughout the UK from our offices in central London.

The Modern House meets the growing demand for exceptional living spaces of all kinds, including flats, lofts, conversions, architects' own homes, new builds and period houses. Our name is inspired by FRS Yorke's celebrated book 'The Modern House' (1934), which introduced modernist architecture to a British audience.

We are excited by homes that pay attention to the timeless principles of modernism: space, light, materials, nature and decoration. Combined, we believe design can be a powerful force for good.
