The Perfect Combination Of Space, Style And A Fast London Commute. A thoughtfully improved family home on a sought after street, with a private 147m garden and London Bridge only 22 minutes from Petts Wood station.
This beautiful 1930’s built family home has five bedrooms, three reception rooms and a leafy back garden stretching to around 45 metres - and yet the thing that tends to stop people in their tracks is the kitchen.
Installed in summer 2024, it is a stunning showpiece. Custom-made by Häcker and fitted with neff appliances throughout, it runs the full width of the rear extension with floor-to-ceiling navy cabinetry, a dual-fuel hob, quartz worktops, a Quooker tap and a wine fridge tucked neatly into the island.
Crittall-style bi-fold doors open the whole space out onto the terrace, and with an exposed brick feature wall on one side and moss panel lighting on the other, it is the kind of kitchen that makes you want to do more than just cook in it. The Sonos ceiling speakers are perfectly setup for a kitchen disco...
The bay-fronted formal sitting room is a quieter and more reflective space, with herringbone Amtico flooring, full-height panelled walls, a wood-burning stove and a crystal chandelier overhead.
A Crittal-style sliding door leads through to the hall and a second reception room, giving you the option to keep things separate when you want to, whether that means a playroom, a snug or a proper work-from-home space.
There’s also a downstairs WC and an integral garage (accessed from the kitchen) that the current owners use as a utility room, with plumbing already in place for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
Upstairs, five bedrooms are arranged around a dramatic dark-painted landing.
The main bedroom has a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden, fitted wardrobes running the full length of one wall and an en-uite finished in full marble-effect porcelain with brushed brass fittings, a walk-in rainfall shower and a wall-hung oak vanity unit.
The family bathroom - refitted in 2025 - continues the same considered finish.
There is also a home office, a children's room with bespoke cabinetry and two further double bedrooms, each with their own character.
The garden runs to around 45 metres and being east facing means the sun comes up in the morning and stays all day in the summer months, until it pops over the roof at around 7pm.
A large stone-terraced patio sits directly off the kitchen, with lawn and mature planting beyond.
There is a playhouse and fairy lights strung across for evenings outside, and at the far end a newly fenced section of extra land where the foundations and electricity supply are already in place for a gym, home office, reformer studio or pool (subject to planning permission).
The choice of local schools is second to none. Crofton Infant and Junior, St James Catholic and St Nicholas CofE are all nearby and all rated “Outstanding” by Ofsted.
Independent options nearby include Bromley High, Bickley Park, Farringtons and Babbington House, and for secondary, Newstead Wood, St Olave's and Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar are all within reach.
For the commute, it only takes 22 minutes to get from Petts Wood to London Bridge, with direct services also reaching Victoria, Charing Cross, Blackfriars and Cannon Street in 34 to 40 minutes. Orpington offers a 16-minute run to London Bridge if you need a Plan B or that’s easier after dropping the kids off.
Chislehurst and Petts Wood high streets are both nearby for daily life, with delis, coffee shops, restaurants, a Pilates studio, a boutique gym and the usual weekend essentials all within easy reach, as are Scadbury Nature Reserve, Hawkwood and Jubilee Country Park for walks.
This is a house that has been genuinely transformed by the current owners - and it shows in every room. If you want seriously stylish family space, a garden the children will love, and a commute that does not eat into your evenings, this one is well worth viewing.
We’re expecting plenty of interest, so get in touch to arrange a viewing.
