Property description

Situated in the Kent County village of Chelsfield, this is a unique opportunity to purchase a Grade II listed former stable block with parts dating back to circa 1850. Having been sympathetically converted into a family home, the property has a wealth of charm and character with many features remaining from the period. The property sits in a plot of approximately 1.75 acres and is approached via a long gravel driveway from Bucks Cross Road, close to the centre of Chelsfield Village.
The property is one of two semi-detached homes which are believed to have originally belonged to the neighbouring Victorian hospital which is now the BMI Chelsfield Park Hospital. The grounds extend to the rear and side of the property and are mainly laid to lawn which provides a vast area for children to explore and play, entertaining, or could be used, as once was, a plant nursery utilising the original Victorian greenhouses that remain as well as garaging and further out buildings.
The accommodation includes three bedrooms, two of which have en suite bathrooms and there is a vast double height living room with vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, fireplace and original ironwork dating back to when the building was used as a stable block. The third bedroom upstairs gives way to a galleried mezzanine level overlooking the living room. There is a large country style kitchen boasting a Rangemaster stove and butler sink and is fitted with a range of base units with woodblock style surfaces. There is also a separate utility room which houses the gas boiler and downstairs WC.
The village of Chelsfield lies within 2 miles of junction 4 of the M25 and has a mainline station within a mile and a half providing a direct service to London. You will also find The Five Bells and Bo Peep country pubs, a local primary school and a regular bus service into Orpington Town Centre.
