Description

This charming 1930s detached home features four bedrooms and is set on a generous plot of nearly half an acre along a desirable private road. The property is conveniently positioned just 0.5 miles from the Elmstead Woods station and the vibrant Chislehurst village, offering both tranquility and accessibility. The house showcases classic architectural details typical of its era, including striking 1930s wood paneling in the hallway and distinctive inglenook fireplaces in both the main reception room and dining area. The breakfast room opens into the kitchen, presenting an opportunity for potential buyers to consider expanding this space by merging with one of the existing garages to create a larger kitchen/diner. The layout boasts double-aspect windows in the lead reception and three of the bedrooms, enhancing natural light throughout. A spacious landing with a return staircase leads to the upper levels, where additional configuration possibilities await. While this family home has been well cared for over the years, it also offers considerable potential for renovation or extension—subject to necessary consents. Prospective investors can explore options to expand both outward into the generous south-facing garden or upwards into the loft space. The garden itself extends an impressive 133 feet, featuring a flat lawn surrounded by a variety of established flowers, shrubs, and evergreen bushes. A mature wooded area at the rear provides a low-maintenance escape for children and pets alike. Oakwood Close is a highly sought-after location known for its community spirit and proximity to quality schooling options such as Bullers Wood School, Mead Road Primary, and Eltham College. Nearby parks and abundant green spaces highlight Chislehurst’s reputation as an upscale village surrounded by nature. This property not only offers a comfortable dwelling but also represents an exciting investment opportunity in an appealing neighborhood.
