Land for sale - St Michaels, Tenterden, TN30

Potential Building Plot with Previously Lapsed Planning Permission | St Michaels | Countryside Views | Strong GDV – £950,000

A rare opportunity to acquire a single building plot with previously lapsed planning permission for the construction of a four-bedroom detached home extending to approximately 2,200 sq ft, together with a three-bay open garage and generous surrounding gardens enjoying wonderful countryside views.

Occupying an attractive position on the outskirts of St Michaels, the plot benefits from a convenient village setting, far-reaching rural views and adjoining open fields to one side.

The previously approved plans provide for a thoughtfully designed four-bedroom family home arranged over two floors, offering well-proportioned living accommodation, a generous garden and ample parking. Extending to approximately 0.30 acres overall, the plot presents an excellent opportunity to create a substantial new home in a desirable rural location.

The Location: The plot is situated on the outskirts of St Michaels, a popular and well-established village with a good range of everyday amenities. These include a village store, post office, public house, school, garage and village hall. For a wider choice of shopping, dining and leisure facilities, the nearby town of Tenterden is within easy reach. The larger market town of Ashford also provides an extensive range of amenities and excellent transport connections.

Transport links are particularly convenient. Headcorn railway station offers mainline services to London, while Ashford International provides high-speed services to London St Pancras in approximately 37 minutes. The M20 is readily accessible from Ashford, linking to the M25, Channel Tunnel and wider motorway network. The area is also well served by both state and independent schools, including the highly regarded grammar schools in Ashford.

The Building Plot: The plot comprises an attractive, predominantly level parcel of land currently laid to grass, with established hedging and mature trees forming natural boundaries. It enjoys a pleasant combination of open countryside and rural views, with open fields adjoining one side. The size of the plot provides scope for a substantial rear garden, generous parking and the proposed three-bay open garage.

Lapsed Planning Permission: Although the planning permission has now lapsed, the seller is confident that consent could be re-granted. Planning permission was previously approved on 4 November 2022 by Ashford Borough Council, under planning reference NOT/2022/2419, for the erection of a four-bedroom detached dwelling, together with a three-bay garage and associated parking.

The purchaser will be responsible for making the necessary arrangements to connect the property to main services. It is understood that electricity is available nearby, while water is believed to be accessible within approximately 15 metres of the site boundary. Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries and satisfy themselves as to the availability, location and cost of all services.

Agent’s Note: Please note that the sale relates solely to the building plot and does not include the existing holiday let, which may be shown on certain planning drawings or associated marketing material.
