Description
Property Description: Guide Price £900,000 - £950,000. Set within approximately 0.82 acres of beautiful countryside in the highly desirable village of Headcorn, this rare and exciting development opportunity offers incredible potential. The generous plot features a charming detached farmhouse with original features dating back to the 17th Century, full of character and ripe for modernisation, alongside a traditional Oast House with existing planning permission for conversion into a three bedroom residence. Completing the plot is a substantial barn, ready for full restoration. Together, these historic buildings present a unique chance to create something truly special - perfect for those seeking a rural lifestyle with exceptional scope for renovation, investment, or multi-generational living.
The ground floor of the farmhouse features a spacious living room, complete with a cosy log burner, perfect for relaxing evenings. Adjacent to this, a separate dining room provides an elegant space for entertaining guests or enjoying family meals. The well proportioned kitchen/breakfast room provides ample space for culinary creativity and informal dining. Complementing the kitchen are a large, separate utility room and a practical boot room, essential for country living and providing excellent storage solutions.
On the first floor, the property has three comfortable bedrooms. There are two generously sized double bedrooms, alongside a good sized single bedroom, ideal for a child's room, guest accommodation, or a home office. These rooms are served by a well appointed family bathroom, ensuring convenience for all residents.
Beyond the main residence, this property truly distinguishes itself with its remarkable development potential. A separate oast house, a quintessential Kentish feature, comes with the significant advantage of planning permission already granted for conversion into a three bedroom residential dwelling. This presents an incredible opportunity for multi-generational living, a lucrative rental income, or a dedicated guest house. Furthermore, behind the main garden lies an additional field, which houses a large barn. While the barn is currently in need of repair, it offers excellent potential for conversion, subject to planning permission, opening up further avenues for development or bespoke usage.
Outside: The large and established wrap-around garden is a true highlight, featuring a sprawling lawn, mature trees, and a variety of shrubs that create a private and serene environment. This expansive garden provides endless possibilities for outdoor activities, gardening enthusiasts, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Practicality is also well catered for with a spacious driveway providing parking for several vehicles, in addition to a single garage, ensuring ample space for residents and visitors alike.
