A rare chance to create a substantial country home on nearly 2.9 acres at the edge of Tunbridge Wells. Full planning consent has been granted for a contemporary barn-style house (GIA approx 323 m2 / 3,476 sq ft) with a detached double garage and studio (GIA 88 m2 / 947 sq ft), giving a total planned footprint of about 411 m2 (4,424 sq ft). The site sits within a small enclave of former manor estate properties and benefits from mature boundaries and a large walled garden, delivering privacy and immediate scope for extensive landscaping or a small paddock.
The consented design centres on a vaulted, open-plan living space with bedrooms arranged across ground and first floors, including two en-suites. Practical services are in place: mains electricity (three-phase) and mains water; there is no gas and private sewage will be required. The existing agricultural barns on the plot will need demolition to implement the approved scheme.
This opportunity suits buyers wanting a bespoke family home in a peaceful, rural setting with good local links — Frant station is nearby with direct services to London, and Tunbridge Wells is a short drive for wider amenities and schooling. Important practical points: construction, demolition and foul drainage works are necessary, the private drive is maintained by seven properties, and council tax/EPC are yet to be confirmed. Prospective purchasers should factor build costs, site preparation and service connections into their budgets.
In short, the plot offers immediate permitted development for a large, contemporary family residence in an affluent countryside location, but requires active project management and capital for demolition and building works to realise the potential.
