- Far-Reaching Views
Description
Representing a rare self-build opportunity, this plot comes with full planning permission (Reference: 24/02770/FULL) to demolish the existing outbuilding and construct a striking, new barn-style residence of approximately 3,500 sq ft, perfectly positioned to take in far-reaching views over the adjacent open farmland. We estimate the GDV to be approximately £1,450,000, if completed to a very high standard.
Offering 3,500 sq ft of living space, the plan features a magnificent barn-style dwelling. The home boasts a sophisticated aesthetic finished in vertical cladding, brickwork, and expansive glazing. Inside, the ground floor includes a spectacular open-plan kitchen/dining/family area, a study and a spacious living room opening onto a terrace with a water feature. Upstairs are five bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a luxury principal suite. This picturesque plot offers an unmatched opportunity to create a bespoke modern home that harmonizes with its rural surroundings.
Brenchley itself is a quintessential English village, celebrated for its "old-world" charm and thriving sense of community. The location perfectly balances a peaceful village setting with practical commuter connectivity, sitting within easy reach of Royal Tunbridge Wells and mainline rail links at Paddock Wood and Tonbridge. The area is also renowned for its exceptional schooling.
