Home to Martine & John for over 36 years, this beautiful 1930s semi-detached house is set on one of the most desirable roads in West Wickham, and is only being sold now that M&J are keen to be closer to the grand-kids.
This gorgeous family home is genuinely ready to move in.
Situated a quarter of the way down Wickham Chase and inside the catchment areas for numerous sought-after schools (such as Pickhurst Primary, Langley Secondary & Hayes), this immaculately maintained home already occupies 1674ft2 (155.5m2) of floor space (including the loft and outhouses), perfect for a family looking for a freehold home they can simply move their furniture into while still having the potential to grow further.
The accommodation is larger than the average (including higher ceilings and broader hallway/landing) yet still offers extension potential upwards and further to the rear (as completed by various neighbours on the street - subject to planning/permitted development).
Internally the ground floor brags two huge reception rooms (the rear having been extended slightly to add the feature space pictured), a long kitchen (with potential to be knocked into the next-door family room) and a wide entrance hall with under-stair storage.
Upstairs consists of two massive double bedrooms, a larger than average ‘box room’ (currently hosting twin toddler beds for the grandkids), a bright bathroom, separate WC and large landing with window to the side & access to the loft.
Endearing traditional features include a wood burner in the rear reception, original fireplace in the front reception and sanded down original floors. The french doors at the back have been sanded and oiled and M&J thought the new owners would appreciate a new carpet on the stairs and landing - to save having to lay out on any less necessary costs early.
John is a professional gardener, so the over 18m (60ft) garden at the rear couldn’t be more easily adopted - perfect for garden parties & hosts Martine’s outhouse office at the rear. It has both rear and side walk-in access.
Wickham Chase is one of the most popular streets in West Wickham, linking the station side (Pickhurst Rise) with Pickhurst Lane & consisting almost solely of large 1930s freehold properties. 208 is between a quarter and a third of the way down from the Pickhurst Lane side, so is just 1km to the station and even closer to Pickhurst Infant School if desired.
There are amenities aplenty, with lovely independent retailers, restaurants and businesses on West Wickham High Street, while Bromley Centre, which hosts ‘The Glades’ shopping centre, is only a 1.8m drive North (2.8km) should you be more interested in retail giant regulars & shopping days out.
West Wickham Station is tfl Zone 5 and is direct to Charing Cross (35 mins) or Cannon Street (40 mins). Bromley South Station is also not far with a regular fast train to London Victoria (18 mins), plus direct links to London Blackfriars (34 mins) & even Canterbury or Ashford International. It is also quick to reach trendy hotspots like Herne Hill (18 mins), Peckham Rye (20 mins) & Brixton (21 mins) plus many more.
Early viewing is advised to avoid disappointment!

Here is a little bit from Martine & John (the owners):
This has been our well-loved family home for over 36 years. We have always loved the tranquillity of the garden, and the garden office has been an ideal work space over the recent years.
Only a short walk to local restaurants in Hayes and West Wickham, as well as easy access to London via local stations. Highly rated Pickhurst school is 5 minutes’ walk away, as well as Hayes and Langley secondary schools in close proximity.
I know it’s cliché, but if we could pick up this house and take it with us we certainly would.
