East Street, Stafford House, TN9

Prime Town Centre Development Opportunity with Residential Conversion Consent

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful mixed-use freehold property in the heart of Tonbridge, benefitting from prior approval for residential conversion and positioned within one of Kent's most sought-after commuter locations.

Occupying a prominent position just moments from Tonbridge High Street, Stafford House is an impressive late Victorian building of considerable architectural character, originally constructed as The Judd School Headmaster's House. The property combines period charm with significant development potential, making it an attractive proposition for developers, investors and value-add purchasers.

The existing accommodation comprises office space over the ground and first floors, together with a self-contained residential apartment at second floor level. Externally, the property benefits from approximately six private parking spaces (subject to verification).

Of particular significance, Prior Approval (Ref: 26/00434/PDVMA) was granted on 12 May 2026 for the change of use from mixed-use accommodation to Class C3 residential, allowing the creation of five additional flats. This provides purchasers with a consented residential development opportunity capable of delivering a highly desirable town centre apartment scheme in a location where demand for quality residential accommodation remains consistently strong.

Stafford House enjoys an exceptional town centre setting within the Tonbridge Conservation Area, approximately 100 yards from the High Street's extensive retail, leisure and dining amenities. Tonbridge mainline station lies approximately half a mile away, providing frequent services to London Bridge, Cannon Street, Waterloo East and Charing Cross, with journey times from approximately 35 minutes.

Combining an attractive period building, valuable planning consent, on-site parking and excellent connectivity to Central London, Stafford House represents a compelling acquisition opportunity with clear asset management and development potential.
