Hidden within a quiet mews off charming Chislehurst Common, this striking contemporary three-bedroom house is a bold counterpoint to its Georgian and Victorian neighbours. Light is drawn into the plan from all angles, and the kitchen is cleverly crowned by a dramatic glazed lantern. The circulation has been smartly conceived to establish a relaxed flow around the plan whilst retaining a feeling of distinct rooms and retreating spaces. The rambling walks of Chislehurst and its independent cafés and lively pubs are all close at hand.
