6 bed detached house for sale

School Road, Chislehurst, Kent BR7

Nestled in one of Chislehurst’s most prestigious positions overlooking the green expanse of The Common, Saint Michaels represents an extraordinarily rare opportunity to acquire one of the area’s most important and distinctive homes.

This remarkable home built around 1765 and extended in the early part of the 20th century forms the principal portion of the former Saint Michaels Orphanage - a building of immense character and local significance which has been painstakingly restored and reimagined by the current owners.

This six bedroom house is over 5,500 sq ft with a large driveway, detached garaging and mature gardens, set behind electric wooden gates and mature beech hedges on School Road.

Every inch of this property has been carefully considered through an exceptional back-to-brick renovation programme which has enhanced the original architecture whilst introducing a level of finish and specification rarely found even amongst London’s finest homes. The result is a house of extraordinary scale, atmosphere and individuality; elegant yet practical, historic yet entirely suited to modern living.

Original features have been retained alongside the modern renovation including the original front door, timber sash cord windows, wooden beams to two of the bedrooms and stained glass details to the principal bedroom.

The beautifully designed accommodation centres around a spectacular open-plan kitchen, living and dining space with bespoke Boffi cabinetry, premium Gaggenau and Miele appliances, alongside a series of elegant reception rooms including the former school refectory and original school office. The first floor offers a stunning principal suite with vaulted ceilings, dressing area and luxurious bathroom, together with four further en-suite double bedrooms and a versatile sixth bedroom/family snug. Completing this remarkable home is a substantial basement offering further potential, beautifully landscaped gardens with expansive terraces, plans for a swimming pool (subject to planning), and a detached garage/outbuilding, creating an outstanding family home of exceptional scale and quality.

Occupying one of Chislehurst's most prestigious positions directly adjoining Chislehurst Common, Saint Michaels is just moments from Royal Parade and Chislehurst High Street, renowned for their independent boutiques, cafés, restaurants and village atmosphere. Chislehurst and Elmstead Woods stations provide regular services into Central London, while the area is exceptionally well served by outstanding state and independent schools, golf and cricket clubs, and excellent road links to the M25, Bluewater and the Kent coast. Beautifully restored and meticulously modernised, Saint Michaels is a truly exceptional home that combines historic significance with outstanding contemporary living.
