Description

Marriott Vernon are delighted to present Osbornes, an attractive Grade II listed detached cottage built in 1705. The house and barn is set within a 1.50 acre plot, with a further five acres of grazing land also available, by separate negotiation.

The property also benefits from a substantial barn measuring 32ft x 14ft which offers exciting potential for sympathetic conversion, subject to consent. A further 2 smaller outbuildings also sit within grounds

Brimming with character and charm and set in an idyllic semi-rural location near Old Chelsfield Village, this wonderful property offers accommodation comprising two reception rooms to the ground floor (one open-plan to the kitchen), a family bathroom, and a hallway providing access to the cellar. To the first floor there are three bedrooms.

The property benefits from a gated driveway providing generous parking space. Gas central heating and a current EICR covering the electrics. Comprehensive renovations to the exterior include repointing the Flemish brickwork. It should be noted, however, that the property is in poor overall condition, and will require an extensive programme of refurbishment, thus providing exceptional potential for upgrade and improvement as desired.

Osbornes enjoys a superb location close to Old Chelsfield Village, with local shops, pubs and restaurants at Chesfield, Green St Green and Orpington. A regular bus route serves Orpington mainline station with its rail services to London Bridge, Waterloo, Charring Cross and Victoria, as
well as Sevenoaks and the South Coast. Orpington town centre, just a short distance away, is home to a good range of shops, amenities and leisure facilities, and the area is also well served by excellent local schools, beautiful open countryside, and nearby golf courses. Junction 4 of the M25 is within easy reach.

Offered to the market with no onward chain.
