5 bed detached house for sale

Rushmore Hill, Orpington BR6

An exceptional Grade II listed residence, this impressive home beautifully weaves its 15th-century farmhouse origins with elegant Georgian and Victorian additions. Steeped in history and character, the property offers an abundance of period charm, seamlessly balanced with modern-day comfort and functionality.

To the northern end, a stunning Georgian-style extension houses a magnificent drawing room, showcasing high ceilings, elegant Venetian sash windows, an exquisite Italian marble fireplace, and refined decorative detailing — a perfect space for entertaining or peaceful retreat.

The heart of the home exudes historic warmth, featuring a cosy snug with a period fireplace, an adjacent study, and an enchanting Arts and Crafts-style reading room adorned with traditional oak woodwork, monks' benches, and a Delft-tiled fireplace.

To the south, a rustic kitchen and dining area offers authentic terracotta tiled flooring and exposed timber beams, creating a charming and homely atmosphere. At the rear, an 18th-century brick-and-flint building is seamlessly linked to the main house via a central music or activity room, leading to a versatile office, guest cloakroom, and a characterful cellar. Formerly a shepherd’s house, this space — believed to date to the 1700s — has retained its original character and is now ideal for home working, boasting a fireplace, central heating, and fast fibre broadband connectivity.

Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms are accessed via two separate staircases. The principal suite enjoys delightful west-facing views over open countryside and benefits from a luxurious en-suite with bath, separate shower, WC, and twin basins. A family bathroom and separate WC serve the remaining bedrooms. A further staircase rises to the attic space, fondly known as the ‘apple loft’ — a delightful space for children’s play or additional storage.

Outside, the landscaped gardens are beautifully tiered and thoughtfully planted, primarily laid to lawn and framed by mature trees and shrubs, offering complete privacy and year-round beauty. Ample parking is available to the front and sides of the property.

With no onward chain, this rare and distinguished home presents a unique opportunity to acquire a slice of English history — combining timeless architectural heritage with modern comfort, excellent connectivity, and versatile living.
