This three-bedroom house on a leafy, residential road in Bromley was designed in the late 1950s by the architect R.W.B. Jameson and has been recently refurbished by the current owners, an artist and a graphic designer. There is still scope for further development of the property, subject to the usual permissions.

R.W.B. Jameson was a local architect who together with two architect friends purchased an attractive but challenging plot of land in the 1950s on which to build their own homes. Four houses were cleverly built onto the sloping site, one was sold off and the three architects and their families moved into their respective homes (one of the properties is still occupied by the original architect). Jameson landscaped the garden, creating a series of stepped terraces, and designed the house to reflect his interest in Modern Scandinavian architecture.

The house is entered via an entrance hall. The ground floor features three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Also on this floor, although with separate access, is a store room and workshop. On the first floor is a triple-aspect living room with original hardwood floor, a kitchen, WC and conservatory. Full height glazed sliding doors lead from the living room to a hardwood decked terrace. There is a garage and gardens surrounding the house.

The current owners have undertaken refurbishment work including new bathrooms and kitchen, rewiring and bringing gas and new radiators into the property. There is still scope for further development and possible extension.

The house can found in a quiet residential area of Bromley known as Shortlands. There is a local shop around five minutes walk from the property and further shops and a train station in the centre of Shortlands. Services from Shortlands to London Victoria take approximately twenty five minutes. Other nearby stations include Bromley North and Ravensbourne.

Bromley is currently undergoing significant regeneration. Bromley North Village is now largely completed, to wide acclaim, and provides pedestrianised streets and range of outstanding restaurants and other services. Bromley South is soon to undergo a regeneration scheme overseen by the Cathedral Group, a company known for their dedication to exceptional architecture.

Bromley is one London’s safest and greenest boroughs. The nearest green space to the house is Beckenham Place Park (10 minutes walk). Local schools include the well regarded Valley Primary School (10 minutes walk), Parish C of E and Bishop Challoner.
