Background
The Orchard is currently a substantial detached complex of 0.583 acres which has been owned by the present occupants for 48 years and has proved to be a most magnificent family home.

The main buildings were constructed in 1960 and the detached indoor swimming pool was constructed in 1986. The existing house comprises 4/5 bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, lounge and study. There is also a self-contained annexe known as Orchard Cottage. There is garaging for 6 cars and parking space on the front and side driveways for approx. 10 more cars.

The cricket ground immediately opposite The Orchard serves as a huge front garden maintained free of charge by Chislehurst & West Kent Cricket Club but is always open to the public, except when cricket matches are being played.

Plot B - £2,000,000
The site is now for sale divided into two plots (this is Plot B), each has two valid planning consents to give purchasers the opportunity of deciding themselves which consent to utilise.

CONSENT NUMBER ONE granted 10.12.24 to build one 6-bedroom 8,000 sq ft detached house with integral garaging. The planning reference number is 24/01815/FULL1 which can be viewed on the Bromley planning portal.

The many benefits of Living in Chislehurst
Chislehurst is one of the most expensive parts of south-east London. Much of the pretty village’s charm and rural feel are derived from its surrounding commons, which were saved from development by residents at the end of the 19th century and are now protected by an Act of Parliament. Along with the village atmosphere that families crave, the big attraction for house hunters is Chislehurst’s close proximity to Central London, Canary Wharf and the M25.

Transport
Chislehurst is only 8 miles from Junction 4 of the M25. There are trains from Chislehurst station to Cannon Street that take 29 minutes, while services to London Bridge take 21 minutes. It takes 29 minutes to Charing Cross, 24 minutes to Waterloo and 41 minutes to Blackfriars. Nearby Bickley Station has direct line service to London Victoria taking only 24 minutes.

Schools
Chislehurst benefits from a variety of good private schools nearby, particularly Bromley High School for Girls and Eltham College for Boys (girls also in sixth form), Farringtons School for Girls and Babbington House (co-ed aged 3 – 11).
