Islehurst Close, Chislehurst, Kent BR7

Guide Price £1,000,000 to £1,200,000
Tucked away in its own pretty gated enclave, this character lodge house is a delightful gem just 0.3 miles from Chislehurst station and moments from Chislehurst Common, Cricket Club and Golf Course. Extending to a generous 1,576 sq ft of beautifully presented accommodation (plus garage), this includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a wealth of reception space, with the backdrop of a 76' garden.

The property is believed to have originally formed part of the grounds of a larger former country house, where it served as a gardener’s lodge or ancillary dwelling. Properties of this nature were typically built to provide accommodation for estate staff responsible for the maintenance of the gardens and wider grounds. Over time, as many of the larger surrounding estates were reduced in size or redeveloped, the original main house and associated land were subdivided. The lodge subsequently remained and was later converted into a private standalone residence. Today, the property retains its historic character with a modern extension, and forms part of a well-established residential setting in Chislehurst.

An attractive entrance hall features a large built-in cupboard and provides access to an office and the kitchen/dining room.

The kitchen/dining room is a generous space of approximately 270 sq ft. The kitchen area offers a beautiful range of Shaker-style floor, wall, and full-height cabinetry, including a glass-fronted display unit and integrated appliances. The units are topped with a quartz work surface, which extends to create a breakfast bar on the central island. Attractive wood flooring flows through to the dining area, where the dining suite is positioned by two windows and a door to the rear, providing pleasant views of the garden. There is also convenient access to a fitted utility room, a guest cloakroom, and a further reception hall.

From here, there is an additional reception room with a door opening onto the rear garden, as well as access to the third bedroom. The luxury family bathroom is located on the ground floor and includes a curved freestanding claw-foot bathtub as a central feature, along with a shower cubicle and basin set into a vanity storage unit. A window provides ventilation and natural light.

The main reception room is located to the rear and is defined by its unique shape, with dual French doors opening onto the garden and a side window ensuring the room is flooded with natural light. An attractive fireplace, deep coving, and skirting boards add further character.

A second reception room, situated at the front, offers flexibility of use for the buyer and is currently arranged as an office. The original corner fireplace, coving, and skirting boards are retained period features, along with a traditional-style radiator, adding further character to the room.

Two further bedrooms are located on the first floor. The principal is a spacious double with a wide window and exposed ceiling beams. The second bedroom is also a double which features whitewashed floorboards and painted ceiling beams, and there is a shower room on this level as well.

The garden extends to approximately 76’ and includes a paved patio area and central lawn. Mature trees are dotted around the borders, complemented by hedging and planted beds.
