Shortlands Road, Bromley

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.
