4th May 2023
Holly Den & Doctors Wood Lodge, Pump Lane (Upper), Chelsfield Village, Orpington, Kent, BR6 7PL
The subject property is made up of two freehold Titles; the first being Holly Den, a characterful detached cottage that has been extended to the rear and we have been advised by the seller that the original cottage dates back to circa 1800. The second Title relates to Doctors Wood Lodge which is currently occupied by a cabin leading out to woodland and overall extends to in excess of 20 acres.
Situated in an idyllic rural location but so convenient for access to shops, recreational facilities and transportation links including Chelsfield station and Knockholt station, both of which are approximately two miles away and offer regular service to London (Charing Cross and Victoria). Furthermore, there is vehicular access to the M25 at junction 4, approximately two miles away.
Both the cabin and the existing house are in need of some improvement and modernisation but may offer potential for development, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable.
