Set in a peaceful stretch of Maplescombe Lane, Hill View is a detached 1930s house offering expansive countryside outlooks and substantial scope. The property is chain free and benefits from approved planning permission to extend and convert into a four-bedroom home of over 2,500 sq ft, making it a strong candidate for buyers seeking space and long-term value.
The house currently requires complete modernisation throughout: services, kitchen, bathroom, decoration and likely thermal upgrades given solid-brick walls with no assumed insulation. Internally the rooms are generously proportioned and the plot is large, with a private driveway for several cars, a double garage and a rear garden backing onto farmland — ideal for families who want outdoor space or buyers planning an extension.
Practical advantages include mains gas central heating, fast broadband potential, good local schools within a short drive and reasonable rail links via Eynsford and Swanley for commuters. Note the property sits in an affluent rural area and council tax is above average; any purchaser should budget for full renovation costs and verify planning/building regulation details.
Overall, this is a substantial renovation project with approved planning in a sought-after countryside location. It will suit a family wanting a bespoke long-term home or an investor/developer able to manage a full refurbishment and capture the upside from the additional living space and strong setting.
