Plot for sale

Tenure: Freehold

The site which is part of a former farm is accessed via a private road and situated on the outskirts of the sought after village of Brenchley. Local amenities include a church, public house, post office and butchers with more comprehensive shopping facilities available in nearby Paddock Wood and Tunbridge Wells. Mainline rail services are available from Paddock Wood station (approximately 3 miles away) with services to London Bridge, Waterloo East, Cannon Street and Charing Cross (fasted journey time to Cannon Street 48 minutes). Brenchley benefits from a local primary school with further good schools in Paddock Wood, Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells.

The gently sloping site approaching approximately 1 acre has planning permission for 3,500 sq ft of accommodation arranged over three floors with the basement providing substantial room ideal for a gym or cinema with playroom, good sized laundry/utility room and separate shower/WC. On the ground floor there is a sitting room, kitchen/dining room, study, cloakroom, family room/bedroom 6 and on the first floor 5 bedrooms (master with en-suite), further family bathroom. The new building will be positioned to benefit from a southerly aspect with elevated views over its own land and beautiful countryside beyond. Potential exists for garages and other outbuildings, subject to the usual consents. The existing property was originally a farm workers bungalow adjacent to the main farmhouse and beyond that a barn conversion. This site offers a rare opportunity to build a significant property in an outstanding location on the outskirts of Brenchley which was recently voted one of the top 10 villages in the UK in a poll published in The Times and does retain much of the charm and character associated with the highly regarded villages in Kent.
