Listen closely, and you can almost hear it breathe.

Tucked away in the cherished heart of Sundridge Park, this distinguished Victorian residence reveals itself with quiet authority. Behind its gracious façade stands a home of five bedrooms and four bathrooms, not ostentatious, never hurried, but assured, composed, and deeply welcoming. This is a house that knows exactly who it is.

Time has treated it kindly, and more importantly, wisely. Renovations have renewed the fabric of the home without disturbing its soul. Every enhancement has been made with respect, modern comforts gently threaded through original craftsmanship, allowing the past and present to speak to one another in measured, harmonious tones.

Stretching to over 4,200 square feet, the house unfolds with confidence and generosity. Light pours into beautifully proportioned rooms where high ceilings rise above restored fireplaces, ornate Victorian radiators sit proudly beneath original cornicing, and refurbished doors, floors, and stair balustrades carry the soft echoes of a bygone era. Nothing here has been erased, only revived.

And then, with a knowing nod to modern life, refinement appears. The kitchen is a bold yet elegant statement: A German-designed, handle-less space dressed in soft matt finishes and quartz stone worktops, warmed gently by underfloor heating. From the dining area, expansive bi-fold doors glide open, drawing the garden into the house as though it were always meant to be there. Monitor Audio speakers, discreetly ceiling-mounted, carry sound effortlessly throughout, while outside, an Italian granite-tiled terrace awaits, complete with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and BBQ, a stage set for long summer evenings and unhurried conversation.

The ground floor flows with purpose and poise. A welcoming entrance hall sets the scene, leading naturally to a home office, a relaxed TV and sitting room, cloakroom, a grand formal drawing room, a playroom, and the expansive kitchen and dining area with its adjoining utility. Each space finds its place, nothing forced, nothing wasted.

Ascend to the first floor and you’ll find four generous double bedrooms, two with their own en-suite bathrooms, alongside a beautifully appointed family bathroom. Above, the second floor crowns the house with a versatile open-plan fifth bedroom, complete with its own bathroom, a snug retreat, and ample eaves storage, a private haven, quietly removed from the world below.

Beneath it all lies the cellar, waiting patiently. A blank canvas, rich with possibility, a gym, a studio, a cinema room, home office, or simply more space, ready to evolve as life requires.

Outside, the sense of arrival is unmistakable.

A newly rebuilt garage stands confidently beside elegant k-rendered boundary walls and iron railings. A Victorian-style tiled pathway leads to a gravel driveway, setting a tone that is timeless, composed, and entirely fitting.

And still, the story does not end there. Approved plans from 2022, available via Bromley’s planning portal, offer a compelling vision for the future: A first-floor rear extension, an infill double-storey side extension, and a discreet single-storey side extension behind the garage. A blueprint not of necessity, but of possibility, the promise that this house can grow, should you wish it to.

Set along the ever-desirable Cambridge Road, the location mirrors the elegance of the home itself. Bromley High Street and the independent cafés of Sundridge Park lie close by. Esteemed schools, from respected preparatory options to outstanding senior institutions, define the area, while Sundridge Park Golf Club is moments away. Bromley North and Bromley South stations are within easy walking distance, offering swift passage into central London and far beyond.

This is not simply a house that impresses on arrival. It is a house that endures. A house that lives well. A house that invites you not merely to admire it, but to belong.
