4 bedrooms House in Cardinal Close, Chislehurst BR7
One of the most amazing settings in Chislehurst! What makes it all the more incredible is that just looking at the front you would have no idea what lies behind, so a personal viewing is essential. 1.817 acres, swimming pool and games room, tennis court, pond, magnificent gardens, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and extensive reception space. Potential to extend (STP). Cardinal Close is a small cul-de-sac situated off Holbrook Lane, one of Chislehurst's most sought-after roads. One of the advantages of this position is that it is both privately and quietly situated, yet also within easy reach of historic Royal Parade with its fine selection of restaurants and shops only a 10 min walk away. Many other facilities, transport links and schools are also easily reached. The house has been beautifully maintained and is an impressive home but once you see the views and step out onto the terrace, the outlook is stunning which takes the property to a whole new dimension. With views over the gardens, heated swimming pool, games room, full-size tennis court, spring-fed pond, woodland and then Scadbury Park beyond, it's hard to imagine that you are on the edge of London. The owners have lived in this four-bedroom detached house since it was built in 1972 and you can understand why, with all that it offers and they have carefully maintained and updated the property over the years. On the ground floor the triple aspect sitting room is a delightful spacious room with views to three sides. The owners extended the property to the rear which gives a much larger dining room than normal. The kitchen was re-fitted with an attractive Harvey Jones kitchen with integrated appliances and this is open plan to the large conservatory with views over the grounds. All this area has underfloor heating. It should be noted that the versatile accommodation means the open plan conservatory would make a large family dining area by accommodating a larger dining table than the present six-seater, and the current dining room would make a wonderful family/tv/games room. Off the kitchen is a utility room which leads through to a downstairs shower room and WC. The study is fitted with an extensive range of shelving and storage cupboards, a perfect work from home space. To the first floor the principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and is situated at the rear of the house overlooking those magnificent views and there is a large en suite bathroom/dressing room, also fitted with wardrobes. The second double bedroom has an en-suite and this is the most recently refurbished bathroom. The third and fourth bedrooms are also doubles and all of the bedrooms have fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom is well appointed with a four-piece suite. There is a double garage to the side of the property and plenty of potential to extend and develop the house further, subject to the usual consents. The gardens have been lovingly maintained and lead down to the heated swimming pool which has a large summer house/games room beside it. The pool equipment (which runs off a separate oil supply) has also been renewed and is in its own storage room. The full-size tennis court has been maintained to a high standard. There is a large well stocked pond which is naturally fed and is a tranquil part of the garden. The remainder of the grounds are woodland which adjoin Scadbury Park, with a gate on the rear boundary giving access to the park. This is a lovely home in a beautiful setting which needs to be seen first-hand to fully appreciate.
