Farnborough Park is a private, exclusive estate designated as a conservation area, due to its park-like setting and its roads lined with specimen trees.
Founded in the 1920’s Farnborough Park is proud of its green open spaces, shingle-topped private roads and its architectural charm. It continues to maintain its enduring desirability as one of the most prestigious addresses in the South East.
As a private estate, it is exceptionally well maintained and provides a virtually traffic-free environment due to its private road status, traffic calming measures and access controlled entrances.
The Park encompasses 230 residential homes within ten private roads. Each home owner becomes a shareholder of Farnborough Park Estates Limited, governed by an elected board of resident shareholders committed to the protection and maintenance of an environment enjoyable for all residents.
The village of Locksbottom with its charming high street is within a few minutes’ walk and has an array of excellent restaurants, traditional public houses, independent and national retailers, coffee shops and two major supermarket chains. Within easy reach are extensive shopping centres including The Glades in Bromley and Bluewater.
Farnborough Park has excellent transport links nearby with Orpington Station (1.7 miles), Bickley Station (2.9 miles) and Bromley South (3.2 miles) all providing a direct and frequent service into London Bridge, Cannon Street, Charing Cross, London Victoria and Blackfriars. The fast service from Orpington to London Bridge only takes 15 minutes and Bromley South to London Victoria 17 minutes, as well as easy access to Ebbsfleet and St Pancras for European travel connections.
By car both the A21 (1.6 miles) to London and the M25 (4.4 miles) are easily accessible. Canterbury and the Kent and Sussex coasts are about one hour drive to the South.
Heathrow Airport is an hour’s drive on the M25 and Gatwick is a forty minutes’ drive away on the M23. Biggin Hill Airport (4.1 miles) is also convenient for private jet flying.
