A standalone development plot situated near Downingbury Farm House in Tunbridge Wells, offered at auction with a low guide price that will attract investor interest. The site is marketed as approximately 400sqm and lies in an affluent rural setting close to Kent College and local amenities, with convenient rail links (around 40 minutes to London from Pembury Station).
The land is presented as a multi-use opportunity subject to obtaining all necessary planning permissions. It will suit a buyer with development expertise or someone prepared to pursue change-of-use consents — the promotional material highlights potential upside but does not include any guaranteed consents. Flood risk is recorded as none, and mobile signal is excellent; broadband speeds are slow.
Practical considerations are clear: tenure is unknown and the lot will be sold at auction, so purchasers must carry out their own legal and physical due diligence before bidding. There is local evidence of higher-value sales nearby, which supports potential value, but any development will depend on permissions, costs and local constraints.
This is a straightforward opportunity for a patient investor or developer prepared to accept auction sale terms and pursue planning. The plot’s rural character, proximity to schools and green open space may support a range of schemes, but buyers should factor in planning risk, utilities, slow broadband and local crime levels when assessing returns.
