A seemingly straightforward conversion opportunity with the potential to create an extraordinary home.

-- Greg Wood, Director #TheGardenOfEngland A substantial 27m x 12m barn for conversion, good sized plot of about 0.43 of an acre, enjoying a private position, delightful views and a peaceful country lane setting, yet just a few miles from Kings Hill and West Malling Station.

Guide Price £575,000 to £600,000 Please see property details for further information.

Planning permission has been granted under reference TM/23/01542/FL for the conversion of a modern concrete-frame storage barn to create a substantial detached home arranged over two floors.

As shown on the approved plans, the proposed accommodation adopts a clever living arrangement, with the kitchen and principal living spaces positioned on the first floor to take full advantage of the surrounding views.

The ground floor provides generous home-working space, additional living accommodation and other rooms to suit individual requirements, alongside generous parking provision.

Ultimately, given the open-plan nature of the existing storage barn, the new owners will have considerable flexibility to determine room sizes and positions according to their own needs, subject to the necessary consents.

Planning permission was granted in July 2023, and Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council has confirmed that a meaningful start has been made through the discharge of Conditions 8 and 10.

Condition 10 relates to drainage facilities, with excavation completed and pipework installed along the northern elevation leading to the designated area for the required sewage treatment plant.

Further to the original permission, a Section 73 application was subsequently made and approved to vary the access arrangements to the site.

This means the property will now benefit from its own private entrance from Beech Road.

Power: ’The nearest electricity supply is located on a post a short distance from the boundary and could be connected to.

Water: We understand that a mains water supply is available within the road and see no reason why a new connection could not be made to serve the property.

Prospective purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries and satisfy themselves as to the availability and cost of all services and connections. Our Ref: FAL260167
