Summary - PETERSBANK COTTAGE 2 PENSHURST ROAD BIDBOROUGH TUNBRIDGE WELLS TN3 0LW
1 bed 1 bath Land
Manageable oaks and conservation value on Penshurst’s rural fringe.
4.77 acres of ancient and semi‑natural broadleaf woodland
A rare parcel of ancient and semi‑natural woodland totaling 4.77 acres on the edge of Penshurst. The block contains a high density of mature oak, including specimens estimated over 200 years old, giving immediate ecological and visual value for amenity, conservation or managed timber extraction.
Practicalities are clear: the woodland is subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO 006/1970/T) and a restrictive covenant in favour of the National Trust that prohibits development. A formal woodland management plan is already in place permitting limited harvesting/thinning, which creates straightforward options for sustainable timber income or habitat improvement. The land is offered freehold, chain free, and has gated access from Penshurst Road.
Buyers should note material constraints: there are no service connections to the land and the restrictive covenant prevents any development. Access arrangements if the wider holding is sold in lots mean rights of way may be required through adjoining lots; Lot 3 is only available to the purchaser of Lot 1. These are practical limitations rather than hazards — this is primarily a conservation, amenity or low‑intensity forestry purchase rather than a development site.
For woodland managers, conservation buyers or investors seeking a low‑risk rural holding in a very affluent area, this is a well‑stocked, manageable block with established legal protections and a clear management framework.
