Description

Langford Russell are delighted to present to the market this beautifully presented four-bedroom detached chalet-style residence, set in an idyllic semi-rural position on Hookwood Road. Occupying approximately 2.5 acres of grounds, the property offers versatile accommodation of around 1,583 sq. ft., complemented by a range of outbuildings, including an open-sided barn and storage shed totalling a further 746 sq. ft., creating an ideal countryside lifestyle within easy reach of Orpington and excellent transport links.

Approached via a private driveway, the property enjoys a peaceful setting with generous frontage and far-reaching countryside views. Sympathetically modernised by the current owners, the home combines character features, including exposed timber beams, with contemporary finishes to create a stylish and practical family residence.

The accommodation centres around a superb open-plan kitchen and breakfast room, featuring shaker-style units, integrated appliances and a substantial central island with breakfast bar. This impressive space is complemented by exposed beams and an abundance of natural light. A spacious principal reception room enjoys garden views and an attractive brick fireplace with log-burning stove, while a second reception room offers flexibility as a dining room, family room or home office. The ground floor also benefits from a utility room, cloakroom and fourth bedroom.

To the first floor are three generous double bedrooms, all enjoying pleasant rural outlooks, together with a well-appointed family bathroom.

Externally, the exceptional grounds extend to approximately 2.5 acres, predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by mature trees and hedging, providing privacy and seclusion. The outbuildings offer excellent versatility for equestrian use, workshops, storage or outdoor pursuits, while the property also presents potential for further enhancement, subject to planning consent.

School Bank Farm enjoys a desirable semi-rural setting, combining countryside tranquillity with convenience. Orpington, Green Street Green and nearby villages provide a wide range of amenities, while excellent schools and transport links via the A21, M25, Orpington and Chelsfield Stations are all within easy reach.

Internal viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the charm, versatility and exceptional lifestyle opportunity this wonderful family home provides.
