Brookbanks are delighted to present this exceptional home at The Residence, Chapel Drive — an address steeped in history and elegance. Set within the beautifully restored Grade II listed former Stone House Hospital, this remarkable maisonette perfectly blends timeless architectural grandeur with contemporary luxury.

Spread gracefully over two floors, this three-bedroom, three-bathroom home offers an impressive sense of space and sophistication. High ceilings sweep throughout, complemented by expansive sash and bay windows that fill every room with natural light. The striking front bay window provides an enviable outlook towards the magnificent Chapel opposite, a view that captures the building’s historic charm.

The heart of the home is the stunning open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area — designed for both comfort and entertaining. The modern kitchen comes fully equipped with premium integrated appliances, including a dishwasher, washing machiene, fridge-freezer, oven, hob, and extractor fan, ensuring effortless modern living.

Each of the three double bedrooms is beautifully proportioned, featuring built-in wardrobes and generous natural light, while the three bathrooms are elegantly finished, offering both style and practicality. A highlight of this unique property is the spacious private roof terrace — an ideal retreat for relaxing or entertaining under open skies.

Lovingly maintained by its current owner since new, this home exudes warmth and care throughout. Every corner reflects the attention and pride with which it has been kept. Originally constructed between 1862 and 1866 in a distinguished Victorian style, the building was sensitively converted in the early 2010s into a collection of luxurious apartments and maisonettes, preserving its historical features while offering a truly modern standard of living.

The Residence is situated in Stone, a desirable area on the outskirts of Dartford that combines peaceful surroundings with excellent transport links. Stone Crossing Station is approximately 0.9 miles away, offering regular Southeastern services to London Bridge, Charing Cross, and Cannon Street, while Dartford Station, just over a mile from the property, provides additional frequent connections into central London and beyond. These convenient rail options make the location ideal for commuters seeking a blend of tranquillity and accessibility.

By road, Chapel Drive enjoys superb connectivity. The nearby A2 and A226 provide direct routes towards both London and the Kent coast, while the M25 motorway and Dartford Crossing — just a short drive away — offer swift access across the Thames into Essex and to major destinations throughout the South East. The Dartford Crossing forms an essential part of the region’s transport network, linking Kent and Essex via bridge and tunnel, and placing London and its airports within easy reach.

Locally, Stone and Dartford offer a wealth of amenities, from village pubs and local shops to the extensive retail and leisure facilities at nearby Bluewater. The surrounding area features open green spaces, historic architecture, and a strong community atmosphere, making it a particularly attractive setting for those seeking both charm and convenience.

Families will also appreciate the excellent range of educational facilities close by. The area is well served by several highly regarded nurseries and preschools, including The Windmill Nursery, St Mary’s Under 5’s Preschool, and Kids Inc Day Nursery, all providing nurturing environments for early years care. For primary education, Stone St Mary’s Church of England Primary School and The Brent Primary School both enjoy strong reputations and are situated within the village, while Wentworth Primary School in nearby Dartford offers another well-regarded option.

For secondary education, residents benefit from proximity to a number of outstanding schools.
