A little bit of history...
The Camden Park Estate with its manor house,
Camden Place, gained notoriety when it became
home in exile of Napoleon the Third, Emperor of the
French, and the Imperial Family in 1870. The death
of the Emperor in 1873 left the widowed Empress in
residence until she moved to Hampshire. In 1890 the
estate was put up for sale and the William Willetts,
father and son, property developers purchased the
estate.
They had a vision for a much larger scale development
originally, but there was local opposition and the
compromise was for Camden Place to become
Chislehurst Golf Club with Camden Park Road
and Wilderness Road created to provide substantial
homes. The first homes in Wilderness Road were
occupied in 1906 and the remainder of the road was
developed predominantly between then and the late
1930’s. Today there are 31 properties in the road with
the 32nd under construction.

“I am fortunate to have the privilege of visiting many
of Chislehurst’s finest homes in the most sought after
roads, yet still now after 20 plus years of working in
Chislehurst, on entering Wilderness Road it has the
ability to surprise you as to just how wonderful a road
it is. It is truly a hidden gem. Chesham House is a
rare chance to purchase a home on one of the roads
larger plots backing the golf course and offers scope to
personalise to your own taste and specification
