Set on a very large plot in the popular village of Boughton Monchelsea, Swallowfields is a traditional detached home that combines period character with clear development potential. The existing layout provides generous family living across an entrance hall, long lounge/diner, kitchen, garden room and four bedrooms (three upstairs plus a ground-floor bedroom). Mature trees and hedging give a private, rural feel while the long driveway and single garage add practical off-street parking.
A major selling point is the approved planning permission (REF 23/503038/FULL) to erect a new four-bedroom detached house within the garden. That consent creates options for families who want extended accommodation on site, or for buyers and investors seeking to develop and retain or sell a second dwelling (subject to statutory conditions and build costs). The property’s solid brick construction, original features and sizeable rooms suit sympathetic refurbishment rather than full rebuild.
Buyers should note a few material points: the house and outbuildings need maintenance and updating, the garage and garden are currently unkempt, broadband speeds are slow, and there is only one bathroom. Council tax is described as expensive. These factors are reflected in the opportunity — good for purchasers prepared to invest time and money to modernise and capitalise on the plot and planning consent.
