Guide price £1,100,000 - £1,200,000.
It is a unique privilege to own and be custodian of a beautiful house with such historic value. Believed to have been built c.1520 (and re-fronted in C19th) this large and well-maintained Grade ll listed 4 bed, solid oak framed house (with 74’ garden), has really stood the test of time. The location is reflective of its 500-year history on Royal Parade which is adorned with heritage street furniture, lined with elegant buildings and a charming selection of shops, restaurants, cafés and bars, Royal Parade is a symbol of the area’s rich history and enduring charm making this a highly desirable address.

This is what you might fondly call ‘a chocolate box cottage’ - appealing, charming and idyllic with its double fronted elevation and a little touch of yesteryear and only on an internal viewing can you fully appreciate all this has to offer.

Abury is situated behind mature hedging which surrounds the gardens to create a private setting, and there is enclosed off road parking for several cars to the front.

The immense character of the house is defined by the original exposed solid timber beams that line the walls and ceilings in most rooms, interspersed with lime-plaster panels along with large original brick fireplaces, brick arches, sold oak ledged and braced doors and some charming quirky features all creating a delightful feel to this deceptively large house.

At 2,335 sq ft this is a significant sized home. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, considerable storage spaces, two large reception rooms, a large kitchen, separate utility room and office outbuilding provide ample space for today’s family needs.

The farmhouse kitchen (and separate utility area) with Shaker style cabinets, Belfast sinks, range cooker and quarry tile floor blends with the atmosphere of the house and provides all that is needed for modern living. The same is true of the bathrooms with elegant white suites.

Royal Parade is a prestigious and easy address where you can stroll to the range of boutique shops, restaurants, pubs and salons on Royal Parade for a relaxed lifestyle with the beautiful back drop of Chislehurst common and many facilities in the locality.

This historic property is one of Chislehurst's oldest buildings and was formally the village bakery. The baker then built 'Milestones' next door and moved the bakery and shop into this new building and in 1825 converted Abury into his home.

With such a history this is an exceptional offering both for the house and the location which we would be pleased to show you on a viewing.
