Summary - HAWKBRAND HOUSE, LONGBROOKS FARM, KNOWLE ROAD TN12 7DJ
3 bed 2 bath Barn Conversion
Derelict farm office with planning consent for a 3‑bed single‑storey home in semi‑rural TN12..
Approval for 3‑bed, single‑storey conversion (approx. 1,600 ft²)
This is a compact rural redevelopment plot with planning consent to convert a former farm office into a single‑storey, 3‑bedroom detached dwelling (approx. 1,600 ft²). The site extends to about 0.17 acres and benefits from a southerly garden area, mature hedging and good privacy — a straightforward opportunity for someone able to complete the conversion and landscaping.
The existing timber outbuilding is derelict and utilitarian in character, with an attached garage and hardstanding to the front. Clearance and remedial works will be required before construction or occupation — overhead electricity is visible on site and broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect immediate move‑in plans or tenants until services are upgraded.
Planning permission (Tunbridge Wells BC ref: 18/03778/FULL) is already granted for the 3‑bed dwelling including master bedroom with dressing room and ensuite. The semi‑rural location lies close to Brenchley and Paddock Wood, with good local schools and low crime; it suits a small developer, investor or buyer seeking a single‑level country home with scope to finish to their specification.
Drawbacks are practical and material: the current structure is not habitable, tenure is unspecified, and external works, garden clearance and likely building‑regulation works will be needed. Factor in service upgrades (broadband, any utility connections) and conversion costs when assessing feasibility.
