Warren Road, Chelsfield, BR6

Building plot of approximately 0.14 acres with planning permission granted for the demolition of the original dwelling and erection of a new two storey detached house with ancillary outbuilding, located in a popular position in Chelsfield.

The original Rose Cottage has already been demolished, with a number of reclaimed bricks retained for the rebuild. The site currently comprises a concrete slab with some initial brickwork in place, along with a welfare unit providing power and running water. The existing outbuilding remains on site and there are gas, electric and mains water connections to the site.

Planning permission has been granted under Bromley Council reference 23/01484/FULL1, with variations to conditions under 23/01484/S73A. The approved scheme provides for a detached family home comprising entrance porch, open plan kitchen/dining/living space with bay windows to the front, understairs storage cupboard and downstairs WC. To the first floor there will be three bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefitting from an ensuite and dual aspect, in addition to a family bathroom. The principal bedroom will measure approximately 4.6m x 6.6m. The proposed dwelling will measure approximately 11m x 6.6m with an overall height of 7.54m.

The site is accessed via a right of way over a driveway from Court Road, at the junction with Warren Road, leading to a front courtyard area which will provide off street parking for two vehicles.

Situated within the Green Belt, the approved design is sympathetic to the character of the original buildings, with the combined footprint of the proposed house and outbuilding matching that of the previous structures, ensuring no additional impact on the surrounding land.

Warren Road is well located for Chelsfield Station with its fast links into London, along with Chelsfield Village, Pratts Bottom and Orpington High Street offering a range of shops, restaurants and leisure facilities. The area also benefits from a semi rural setting with a number of local walks nearby.
