Description

£1,200,000 – Four Bedroom Detached Home, Downe
Exceptional Refurbishment Opportunity, 2.5 Acres, Garage, Parking for Approx. 20 Cars

Set within the idyllic and highly sought-after village of Downe, this substantial four bedroom detached residence offers a truly rare opportunity to acquire a home of remarkable scale, privacy, and potential. Positioned on an expansive 2.5acre plot, the property presents an outstanding canvas for refurbishment, redesign, or full transformation. Offered at a notable discount compared with similar homes in the area, it represents one of the most compelling value for money opportunities currently available in this prestigious location.

The existing home provides generous accommodation, with four well-proportioned bedrooms and a series of spacious reception rooms that lend themselves perfectly to reconfiguration. Large windows and open aspects allow natural light to flow throughout, highlighting the home’s impressive footprint and the exciting scope for modernisation. Whether you envision a contemporary architectural redesign, a sympathetic restoration, or a luxury country retreat, the foundations are already in place for something truly exceptional.

The grounds are one of the property’s most striking features. With 2.5 acres at your disposal, the possibilities are extensive — landscaped gardens, outdoor entertaining terraces, paddocks, orchards, or even additional structures (subject to planning). The land offers a sense of privacy and tranquillity that is increasingly rare, creating a peaceful rural setting while still remaining well connected to surrounding towns and transport links.

Practicality is equally well catered for. A substantial driveway provides parking for approximately 20 vehicles, making the property ideal for large households, car collectors, or those requiring space for business use. A detached garage offers further storage or potential for conversion into a workshop, studio, or home office.

Downe itself is a village rich in heritage and charm, surrounded by rolling countryside and known for its welcoming community. Despite its rural feel, the area benefits from excellent access to Bromley, Orpington, and central London via nearby transport routes. Scenic walking trails, historic landmarks, and traditional pubs contribute to the village’s enduring appeal, making it one of Kent’s most desirable places to live.

This property represents a rare combination of scale, potential, and value. With its extensive acreage, refurbishment scope, and discounted price point, it offers an extraordinary opportunity for buyers with vision — whether developers, investors, or private purchasers seeking to create a landmark home in a prestigious village setting.
