Cumberland Drive, Bexleyheath, DA7

An elegant and beautifully presented 1930s ‘C-Type’ Feakes & Richards family home, offering extended living space, impressive kerb appeal and an enviable position overlooking a charming green on one of The Pantiles’ most sought-after roads.

Set behind a generous block-paved driveway, this attractive home on Cumberland Drive immediately impresses with its classic façade and continues to reveal a thoughtfully designed interior that blends original character with contemporary family living.

The welcoming entrance hall — a defining feature of the traditional C-Type design — provides a wonderful sense of space upon arrival. To the front, a bright and beautifully proportioned reception room with a large bay window offers an elegant setting for relaxation, while the separate dining room connects seamlessly to the impressive extended kitchen and family space at the rear.

Designed with modern living in mind, this exceptional open-plan area forms the true heart of the home. Full-width bifold doors open directly onto the garden, while Velux-style roof lights draw an abundance of natural light into the space. A striking tiled media wall creates a focal point, making the room equally suited to both everyday family life and entertaining.

The contemporary kitchen is appointed with sleek high-gloss cabinetry, marble-effect work surfaces and a range of integrated appliances including an AEG oven, induction hob, stainless steel microwave and American-style fridge freezer.

Luxury tiling flows from the entrance hall through the rear and side extensions, while the original reception rooms are complemented by engineered wood flooring, creating a harmonious blend of period charm and modern refinement.

The ground floor further benefits from a generous fourth bedroom, a stylish shower room and a separate utility room — practical additions ideally suited to busy family living.

Upstairs, a wide landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms, a contemporary family bathroom and a separate WC, all finished to a high standard.

Externally, the south-west facing rear garden provides a private and secluded setting, thoughtfully arranged with a large patio terrace, manicured lawn, decking area and a powered garden shed. To the front, the ample driveway offers generous off-street parking and is enhanced by telescopic security bollards.

Cumberland Drive enjoys a particularly convenient setting, moments from the local amenities of The Pantiles and within easy reach of Pickford Lane’s vibrant parade of shops and cafés. Excellent transport connections are close at hand, including the SL3 bus service providing swift access to Abbey Wood and the Elizabeth Line, while Bexleyheath Station (Zone 5) offers regular services into central London.

A number of well-regarded primary and secondary schools are also nearby, making this an ideal home for both commuters and families.
