A detached cottage plus a cabin and 20 acres of woodland in Chelsfield Village near Orpington are to go under the hammer at auction.

They may offer potential for development if all necessary consents are obtainable.

It is among 130 lots listed for sale by Clive Emson, the land and property auctioneers, ahead of its next sale – with many other lots in north Kent and south London.

Holly Den is the name of the cottage that has been extended at the back and is thought to date from around 1800.

The cabin is known as Doctors Wood Lodge which is set on the edge of the woods.

The address in Pump Lane is likely to attract a lot of interest at the sale.

Auctioneer Paul Bridgeman said: “This is a fine lot, consisting of two properties and a large area of woodland.

“It is set in an idyllic location with a remote and countryside feel, but it is nevertheless well situated for shops, recreational facilities and transportation links.

“Both properties are in need of some modernisation and there might be the possibility to develop if all necessary consents are obtainable.”

The freehold guide price for the lot is £1,100,000-plus.

Another fine lot at the sale is a plot of land next to 42, Riverside, Eynsford, Dartford, which has planning permission for a pair of semi-detached, three bedroom houses.

The freehold guide price for the lot is £400-410,000.

At 98 Tubbenden Lane in Orpington is a detached bungalow with three bedrooms that requires improvement and repair.

It is being offered on the instructions of the executors and has a freehold guide price of £465,000-plus.

At the back of 73 and 73a Greenvale Road in Eltham is a vacant plot of land with planning permission for a two bedroom house. The freehold guide price is £175,000-plus.

Another lot is 22 Cutmore Street in Gravesend, a mid-terrace two bedroom house which is currently let at £10,800 per annum. The freehold guide price is £190-195,000.

One more lot is 41 Oak Road, Slade Green, Erith, a mid-terrace three bedroom house for improvement with a freehold guide price of £215,000-plus.

At 2a Myrtle Road in Dartford is a plot of land with permission for two semi-detached houses.

The freehold guide price is £200,000-plus.

More land is available next to 42 Riverside, Eynsford, Dartford, which has planning permission for a pair of three bedroom semi-detached houses.
