5 bed detached house for sale

High Street, Bexley DA5

High Street House is a substantial Grade II listed period residence occupying a prominent position in the heart of Bexley Village, adjacent to St Mary's Church. Remodelled in 1761 by the noted antiquary and historian John Thorpe, the property combines elegant Georgian architecture with a documented history that can be traced back more than 500 years.

Offering extensive and characterful accommodation, the house comprises five bedrooms, four reception rooms and one bathroom, together with generous ancillary space, cellars and mature gardens. The principal rooms are notable for their impressive proportions, high ceilings and wealth of original period features, reflecting the property's long and distinguished history.

The house has been cherished by the same family for over fifty years and remains rich in architectural character and historic interest. While now requiring a programme of refurbishment and conservation, it presents an exceptional opportunity for a new custodian to restore and enhance a property of considerable heritage significance.

High Street House occupies one of the oldest documented domestic sites in Bexley Village, having passed through the ownership of the Lamienby, Goldwell, Austen and Thorpe families before entering its current ownership in 1972. As a result, it represents not only a remarkable family home but also an important part of the village's architectural and social history.
