A truly exceptional family home. This elegant Victorian Corbett house occupies a prime position on the ever popular Corbett Estate. This property is perfectly placed within close proximity to Hither Green.

From the street, the house makes an immediate impression. Its handsome period façade is beautifully preserved, with a striking stained glass front door set behind a neat, mature front garden, a welcoming approach that sets the tone for what?s inside.

The property has been thoughtfully and sympathetically refurbished throughout, with a clear attention to detail and respect for its heritage. Inside, the ground floor offers an impressive sense of space and versatility. Just off a generous entrance hall, the formal living room sits to the front of the house, featuring a large bay window fitted with plantation shutters, a Victorian-style fireplace, and elegant original details including ceiling rose and cornicing.

To the rear, the kitchen unfolds into a superb open plan space that feels both expansive and effortlessly sociable. It?s a beautifully designed area with ample room for cooking, dining and everyday living, and it opens directly onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and out. A downstairs WC adds a practical touch.

The garden itself is a real highlight, thoughtfully arranged and wonderfully private. A patio sits just beyond the kitchen, perfect for entertaining and outdoor dining, leading onto well-planted borders filled with attractive shrubs and greenery. A charming pathway draws you down to a further seating area at the rear, an ideal spot to catch the evening sun, all enclosed by high quality fencing.

Upstairs, three well proportioned bedrooms continue the home?s sense of quality and calm. The principal bedroom is particularly generous, bathed in natural light from a large bay window, creating a restful and elegant retreat. The additional bedrooms are both excellent sizes, each finished to a high standard and retaining lovely period character. The family bathroom is equally impressive, spacious and beautifully appointed, complete with a deep bathtub and a walk-in shower.
