Little Southernden is a traditional Kent farmstead with substantial development and equestrian potential. The three‑bed farmhouse sits with barns, stables, a riding arena, natural ponds and about 10.85 acres of pasture, offering immediate use for horses or grazing plus scope to expand the main house using existing stable footprint (subject to planning).
Significant value comes from recent planning consents under Class Q to convert the large grain store into two semi‑detached homes and a smaller store into a single dwelling — a clear short‑term development opportunity. The property already generates some solar income from panels on the stables (around £300 per quarter) and has mains services to the main buildings.
Buyers should note a number of practical and legal matters: the property has an old brick septic tank that does not meet current Environment Agency regulations and will require upgrading; parts of the buildings and yards will need renovation; and the site is in an area with above‑average crime and local area deprivation indicators. Broadband is fast and mobile signal average; road access is along a private no‑through farm lane.
Overall this is a large, characterful rural holding aimed at purchasers seeking equestrian use, an income/development project or an established smallholding. It mixes immediate utility with medium‑term planning upside, but will require capital and active management to realise its full potential.
