Town & Country Property Auctions are delighted to offer For Sale by Public Auction this attractive Parcel of Approximately 4.51 acres (1.83 hectares) of Undeveloped Land, situated in a desirable rural location on the outskirts of Lenham. The land benefits from frontage to both Headcorn Road and Boughton Road, together with vehicular access via a gated entrance from Boughton Road.
The site offers an interesting opportunity for a wide range of purchasers, including agricultural buyers, neighbouring landowners, equestrian and leisure users, investors and those seeking land with longer-term speculative potential. The wider Lenham area continues to experience growth and development, which may add to the site's future appeal, subject entirely to obtaining any necessary planning permissions and consents.
The land is currently undeveloped and does not benefit from planning permission for residential or other development. Purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries with the relevant planning authority regarding any potential future use. The combination of its size, substantial road frontage, rural setting and convenient access to Lenham, Maidstone, Ashford and the wider Kent area makes this a particularly attractive land investment opportunity.
PLEASE NOTE: Image 2, showing the gate, is a historical photograph and may differ from the current appearance of the site.
PLEASE NOTE: Pre auction offers will not be accepted for this lot, it has to go to auction.
The property will be entered into our 14th October 2026 auction which is held online and starts at 8am. You must register to bid and download the legal pack.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
