Area Comments
Just up the road from Mottingham, Chislehurst is a world away from its more towny northern neighbour; it's a green, charming little village which just happens to be within touching distance of town.
Chislehurst is basically a Kentish village, having a lovely common which effectively makes the village fall into southern and northern halves. In the south the small strip of road makes a perfect base for the friendly boutiques and eateries which line it, whereas the northern area is more 'establishment' Chislehurst, with big name brands, shops and banks providing the staples to the population.
A great commuter favourite, Chislehurst is a great family location, with huge amounts of green - Petts Wood, the common, and others - and really top notch schools within easy reach. Other open spaces include the world-famous Chislehurst Caves.
Property for the family looking to live near the city but without being engulfed by it ranges from the larger-than-usual Victorian mansions as well as some picturesque 1930s properties. All have good gardens, with the latter having more substantial grounds in general. There are also excellent living spaces for the individual or couple seeking a more dynamic and trouble-free existence, with a large number of the areas 1960s blocks having been refitted with very modern, high standard apartments.
Chislehurst is known for the number and variety of its restaurants and its high quality shops. But within easy reach are Bromley and Bluewater, both offering a huge range of shopping, so if you don't find what you want in the quiet, broad and green streets of Chislehurst it's a simple matter to get somewhere bigger. Social life in Chislehurst can be a little quiet, but this suits most of its residents - though if you want more of a blowout, town's only 15 minutes away by train, and Bromley and other nearby areas also offer a wealth of choice.
With a good range of property for the commuter and truly excellent choices for the family, Chislehurst is a fantastic place to look for your next home.
