West Ham thought they had got their man, after agreeing a £75,000-a-week deal.
However, they were stunned as Bent changed his mind then Yossi Benayoun decided he wanted to pursue Liverpool's interest in him.
However, Charlton have not given up hope of keeping Bent at The Valley and Addicks chief executive Peter Varney said: "We set a valuation and West Ham are the only club to have met that valuation.
"Darren has decided not to join West Ham so we look forward to him starting with us in the Championship next season."
