Old Lodge – A Historic Country Hideaway in High Elms
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This rare countryside retreat combines timeless character with practical living, offering a peaceful lifestyle without compromising on connectivity.
