Sitting proudly on Ridgeway Crescent in an enviable location for popular schools and Orpington Railway Station, lies this much loved family home.

Features to name but a few, include an expansive open-plan kitchen/ family room, ensuite and dressing room to master bedroom, large outbuilding, landscaped garden, utility room, guest cloakroom and a modern contemporary finish throughout.

Approached via a newly installed resin driveway with parking for two cars, the crisp render and external detailing set the scene for the modern and contemporary home that sits beyond the external facade.

The modern composite door takes you into the entrance porch with its bespoke cabinetry providing storage for shoes, a further glazed door then opens into the hallway which gives a wonderful vista through the ground floor and out to the garden.

The owners eye for detail and design becomes apparent from the hallway, with their use of glass balustrades and clever under stair storage, giving an uncluttered and minimal feel to the space while their use of glass promotes natural light.

To the left you will find the bay fronted sitting room. With a large open-plan space to the rear of the home, the front reception has been designed to offer a more relaxed environment from which to unwind or watch a movie with family. Features include plantation shutters, choice of wall and ceiling lighting, engineered wood flooring, inset television and feature radiator.

Back out onto the hallway, the underfloor heated ceramic tiled floor takes you seamlessly into the kitchen and reception at the rear.

This expansive open-plan space provides a hub for family life and a real heart to this home. The careful planning and design allowing for defined areas from which to cook, dine and relax.

The kitchen features matt grey units, contrasting white Corian worktops, under-counter LED lighting and a host of integrated Bosch appliances including two ovens, microwave, coffee machine, dishwasher, fridge freezer and an induction hob in the central island.

The kitchen flows into the dining area and adjacent living space, which in turn take you onto the large bi-fold doors allowing the room to flow onto the patio and the garden beyond, expanding the entertaining space further during the warmer summer months.

The kitchen also gives way to a guest cloakroom and a separate utility room with plumbing for a washing machine, space for a tumble drier and an inset sink. The utility room allows access to the storage garage at the front and access to the rear garden.

The patio area is lit with wall mounted lights and inset soffit lights at ground floor level, meaning you can dine into the evening. The patio then steps up onto the artificial lawn which is flanked by slatted fencing which takes you onto the garden room and bar.

The garden room is clad in composite boards which mirror the composite decking that frames the room while providing an alternative outdoor seating area.

Bifold doors connect the deck with the bar, which has been custom built with space for a large television, double fridges and an oak bar top which gives an authentic pub like feel. The bar opens into a larger entertaining area which currently houses a further wall mounted television, seating area and a dart board.

Hidden behind the garden room are two further outbuildings, one of which is used as a home gym but could equally be utilised as a hobby room or home office.

The first floor accommodation has been extended and re-configured to provide two bedrooms, family bathroom and a spacious and well lit landing.

The master bedroom suite sits at the front with a custom window seat occupying the bay window area. The suite then extends into what would have been the second bedroom, with a pocket door leading to a walk-in wardrobe/dressing room which takes you onto the en-suite shower room with its marble tiled walls and floor, floating vanity and a large shower enclosure with a overhead rainforest shower.

The second bedroom sits in an extended portion of the house overlooking the garden to the rear. It's an ample sized double room with fitted wardrobes and desk, making it an ideal bedroom for a growing child.

The bedroom sits adjacent to the main family bathroom where you will find a large double ended slipper bath, shower enclosure with rain forest shower head, contemporary hand basin with enclosed wall mounted taps and a w.c.

The spacious landing incorporates what would have been bedroom three, now providing access to the loft floor accommodation.
