Tucked away at the end of a quiet lane, this striking architecturally designed detached residence, originally built in the 1970s, offers exceptional privacy, generous proportions and a highly versatile layout. Set well back from the road, the property enjoys a secluded setting with a substantial driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles, as well as access to a double garage.

At the heart of the home is an impressive open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, ideal for both family life and entertaining. Large glass doors from multiple rooms open directly onto a substantial decked terrace that sits at the centre of the home, flooding the interior with natural light and creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A separate reception room, thoughtfully extended from the original house, provides an additional living space and features a charming log burner, perfect for cosy evenings.

The home offers five generous double bedrooms, four of which benefit from their own en-suite bathrooms. The principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring a spacious bedroom, a walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious en-suite. There is also a well-proportioned study with a Juliet balcony enjoying fantastic elevated views, making it an ideal home office or creative space. An additional family bathroom serves the remaining accommodation.

The kitchen stairs lead down to a lower level of the home comprising a utility room, cloakroom, plant room and internal access to the double garage. The mature rear garden can be accessed directly from the central terrace and offers a generous, private outdoor space.

Despite its tranquil setting, the property remains conveniently located for excellent transport connections. Shortlands station is 0.6 miles away, providing direct services to London Victoria and London Blackfriars, while Beckenham Junction railway station is around 1.1 miles away with direct links to London Bridge and London Victoria. Fantastic schools surround the home also, such as Clare House Primary and Harris Primary in Shortlands Village, making it an idyllic location for a growing family.
