Full Description: Tucked away in the serene woodland setting of High Elms Country Park and Golf Course, Old Lodge is a truly unique Grade II listed cottage dating back to 1751. Positioned on a beautifully landscaped plot just outside Farnborough Village, this charming home offers a rare combination of historic character, and privacy.<br /><br />The cottage opens into a bright and welcoming kitchen and dining room, thoughtfully designed to make the most of the natural light and views across the gardens. The cosy living room features a log-burner set into a traditional brick fireplace, creating a warm and inviting space for relaxing. A second reception room offers flexibility for use as a dining area, home office, or additional lounge also with a fireplace, while a modern family bathroom and a separate shower room complete the ground floor.<br /><br />Upstairs, you’ll find two spacious double bedrooms, each with original fireplaces and exposed beam features that highlight the building’s heritage. The lower ground floor offers even more versatility, with a converted cellar with windows providing natural light and is an ideal third bedroom, study, or creative space.<br /><br />Outside, the property continues to impress. The wraparound garden is immaculately maintained and includes a fishpond, greenhouse, and mature planting that changes beautifully with the seasons. Several outbuildings are positioned throughout the grounds, offering useful storage in the form of sheds, log stores, and a covered car port with a mezzanine level above, providing dry and generous attic-style storage.<br /><br />Old Lodge is set behind private gates, offering a true sense of seclusion and peace. Despite its tranquil location, the property remains well connected — just a short drive from the M25 and only seven minutes from both Chelsfield and Orpington train stations, making London easily accessible.<br /><br />This rare countryside retreat combines timeless character with practical living, offering a peaceful lifestyle without compromising on connectivity.<br /><br />Tenure – Freehold<br />Council Tax London Borough Of Bromley Tax Band – TBC<br />Energy Efficiency Rating - E<br />
