Borden Lane, Sittingbourne

Situated on a generous 0.3-acre plot in one of Sittingbourne’s most sought-after roads, Borden Villa is a distinctive five-bedroom detached home originally designed in the style of a Spanish villa. Offering flexible living across three cleverly arranged levels, this substantial property has been well maintained and is perfect for those seeking a spacious forever home, with the added benefit of approved planning permission and scope for future development.

Property Overview - The layout is both functional and versatile. The main level hosts four bedrooms, a family bathroom, utility room, and internal access to the garage. A short staircase leads down to a stunning open-plan kitchen/dining room and lounge, ideal for hosting family and friends, with full-width proportions and excellent natural light. Above, the mezzanine level features a large principal bedroom with its own en-suite, providing a private and peaceful retreat away from the rest of the home.

The home is neutrally presented throughout and ready to move straight into, while still offering opportunities to personalise and improve. Planning permission has been granted for the erection of front and rear single-storey extensions, conversion of the garage into a granny annexe, and the insertion of 8 rooflights — ideal for those looking to accommodate multigenerational living or add further value over time.

Externally, the property benefits from parking for five or more vehicles, a double garage, and mature wraparound gardens that offer both privacy and space. For those seeking a longer-term project, the plot itself may hold the potential for up to four new homes (STPP), presenting a rare opportunity for small-scale independent developers.

Positioned within the prestigious Borden Lane area, the property is ideally located for access to Sittingbourne’s amenities, mainline train station, and the A249. Countryside walks and green spaces are also close by, making this a perfect balance between town and tranquillity.
