Our Park Langley office is keen to stress what a fabulous opportunity this period detached property offers, occupying an impressive plot with circa 33m/110ft frontage giving presence but set back from the road. The house retains a wealth of character and charm with possible scope for further extension, subject to planning permission and other necessary consents, and it can be seen that work is needed to renovate some aspects of the house to make the very best of the elegant accommodation. To the north side there is a large drawing room extension and more recently a fabulous vaulted kitchen was added to the south, open plan to a breakfast room with views of the garden. Four further reception rooms to the original part of the house giving exceptional entertaining space plus five bedrooms on upper floors with en suite and dressing to main bedroom and extravagant main bathroom. Basement with wine cellar, garage and abundant parking on gravel drive with gates to established rear garden.
Situated on Shortlands Road, near the access drive to Foxes Dale and approximately mid way between the turnings into Shortlands Grove and Den Road, on the opposite side of the street. Shortlands Station (Victoria/Blackfriars and Bromley South) is at the end of the road along with Shortlands village shops, both about half a mile away. Bromley town centre is about a mile away with the Churchill Theatre, The Glades shopping centre, cinemas and stations. Beckenham High Street offers a range of shops, restaurants and other amenities with Beckenham Junction Station offering trains to Victoria and tram services to Croydon and Wimbledon.
