Seller Insight    When we first stepped through the door of 10 Bubblestone Road, it was clear it needed modernising. The house was dated and tired having not been touched for many years, but we instantly recognised the unique potential and, more importantly, the location. We could instantly see this becoming our ideal home – somewhere calm, spacious and light-filled, with so many amenities nearby; perfectly suited to modern family life.

We undertook a full renovation from top to bottom, from rewiring, plumbing, and heating, to a beautiful new kitchen, bathrooms and ensuites with high-end fittings. Inside, the house was redecorated throughout to an immaculate finish and every detail was carefully considered, resulting in a relaxed home that is easy to live in every single day. Upstairs, our favourite space is the master suite – generously sized, with a spacious ensuite and a cleverly screened dressing area offering excellent storage. It feels like a private retreat at the end of the day. Downstairs, we reconfigured the layout to create a more open-plan living space in which to cook, eat and spend time with family and friends. This transformation has made the ground floor wonderfully sociable and bright, opening onto the south-facing garden to allow the light to pour in and create an easy flow between indoors and out.

.    The outside had a similar make-over, rendering the exterior and adding a new driveway and patio, enhancing the house’s appearance from the moment you arrive. The patio is zoned for cooking, dining and relaxing around the firepit, and the south-facing garden is a true sun trap all day long, all year round.

The local area has so much to offer, too. Everything you need is within walking distance, including local shops and the station, with fast trains to London. The quaint Otford High Street is a joy to explore, as is the surrounding countryside. It genuinely feels like rural living, just 30 minutes from the capital – the perfect balance, and one we will miss dearly.
