Highwood, Shortlands Road, Shortlands, Bromley, BR2

Just an eight minute walk from Shortlands Station, in a delightfully-leafy resi-setting, find this three double bed, two bath first floor purpose-built apartment of 1261 square feet.

Enjoy two sunny private balconies, two dedicated en bloc garages, OSP, and a large communal garden/grounds.

So many boxes ticked! More good news? Lucky you: this is a chain free purchase.

There is a secure main entrance and from the well-maintained shared hall you take the stairs to the first floor and your own front door. Straight ahead here you have your first double bedroom, with a sunny southwesterly orientation. Next door is another bright double. As throughout, all windows are double-glazed, keeping you cosy, and your bills down!

Your neat hall hosts great storage, in built-in shelf and cupboard form. Next on your right is a U-shaped dated yet nostalgic and fully-functioning windowed kitchen (if it ain't broke....) with double-door entry for excellent dinner party drarms.

Then at the end of the hall you have a fabulously-sized reception room of nearly 20 feet by over 13 feet. Generous glazing/sliding doors deliver you to your two SE-facing balconies (nice!) for great sun-basking.

Your principal bedroom looks onto the smaller of the balconies. This is over 16 feet by over 12 feet, with built-in closets either side of where your bed naturally sits. A private en suite bathroom gives this a winning-at-life suite/hotel feel.

Wrapping back almost to the front door, the property's main bathroom completes our tour. Modern white sanitary ware features in both bathrooms.

Shortlands Station and its cute and leafy town centre are within easy reach by foot (The Shortlands Tavern is recommended), as is Shortlands Golf Club, Queensmead Recreation Park, and even Beckenham Place Park. For mall shopping and The Churchill Theatre, head to Bromley. All the schools are well-liked here, and there are many sports grounds and leisure activities for all ages, all around.
