Summary - OWLS CASTLE COTTAGE HOGHOLE LANE LAMBERHURST TUNBRIDGE WELLS TN3 8BN
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Large barn with permission for two dwellings on a massive rural plot—ideal for investors or redevelopment.
Planning confirmation for conversion into two dwellings (Tunbridge Wells Ref 24/00380/LDCEX)
A substantial concrete portal-framed barn set in an attractive rural hamlet, offered with Tunbridge Wells Borough Council confirmation (Ref 24/00380/LDCEX) that it may be converted into two dwellings. The building currently provides two distinct residential units with a combined footprint of about 1,779 sq ft, an attached double garage, private drive and off-street parking. The site sits on a very large plot with mature trees and a front patio area.
This is a straightforward opportunity for an investor or developer seeking a countryside conversion project. The lawful-use confirmation removes a key planning hurdle and the existing two-unit layout (Unit A: two bedrooms and bathroom; Unit B: one bedroom with ensuite) allows immediate redevelopment thinking or rental use. The property is close to village amenities and well-regarded local schools, while remaining peaceful and low-crime in a prospering rural area.
Buyers should note material practical issues: broadband speeds are very slow; main heating and hot water rely on electric systems rated very poor; EPCs are in the lower bands (E & F); and drainage is private/shared and unverified. Council tax is described as expensive. Services and systems have not been professionally tested and will require survey verification before onward work.
Overall this barn presents clear upside via permitted conversion and a huge plot in a desirable countryside setting, but budget and programme should allow for energy upgrades, drainage clarification, and general refurbishment prior to occupation or resale.
