Description


Positioned within one of Swanley’s most desirable residential pockets, this outstanding five-bedroom
detached home represents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly bespoke, high-specification property.

Extensively redesigned and enlarged in 2016/17 by award-winning architect Steven Barlow of TSBP
Architecture, the home has been thoughtfully extended from approximately ~163 sqm (~1,759 sq ft)to an impressive ~225 sqm (~2,414 sq ft), delivering a seamless balance of architectural elegance and practical family living.

The centrepiece of the home is a striking open-plan kitchen and dining area, bathed in natural light via dramatic 2.8m floor-to-ceiling glazing. These exceptional windows, complete with tinted and self cleansing exterior coatings, frame uninterrupted south-easterly views across open countryside, offering breath taking sunrise vistas.
Natural light is further enhanced by two substantial roof skylights—one with walk-on capability and
the other featuring electric ventilation with automatic rain sensors—alongside additional
electronically controlled roof lights within the principal bedroom.

The property offers five bedrooms, with the fifth currently configured as a dedicated home office—
ideal for modern remote working. The principal bedroom benefits from bespoke built-in wardrobes
and a luxurious en-suite, while a second bedroom also enjoys en-suite facilities. In total, there are
four bathrooms, including a fully wheelchair-accessible wet room, providing both flexibility and
future-proofing.

Living space is equally versatile, with a separate reception room currently arranged as a children’s
playroom, music, TV and gaming area—perfectly suited for family life.
Practicality has been carefully considered throughout, with ample built-in storage, a dedicated pantry cupboard, and a well-equipped utility room capable of accommodating up to four appliances (including multiple washing machines, dryers, or an additional dishwasher). Comfort is ensured via underfloor heating across the ground floor and within the principal bedroom suite, complemented by a high-capacity 300L pressurised hot water system powered by both electric and gas.

Externally, electric gates with intercom access open onto a private driveway with off-street parking
for up to four vehicles. The landscaped rear garden is designed for both entertaining and family
enjoyment, featuring an underground irrigation system, sunken trampoline, dedicated play area, and a bespoke outdoor BBQ terrace with seating.
The property also offers significant future potential, including scope to convert the side storage room
and garage into a self-contained annex or Airbnb-style accommodation (subject to necessary
consents). Additionally, there is established precedent nearby for a loft conversion (stpp), offering the possibility of further expansion into a third floor.

This is a distinctive, architect-designed home of exceptional quality—combining modern design,
flexible living, and long-term potential in a highly sought-after location
