- Planning permission granted for three 5-bed executive barn homes (ref 20/1718/FH)
- Site size just over one acre with generous individual plot areas
- Tucked-away setting approached by long private gated driveway
- Adjoins arable farmland; rural outlooks and strong privacy
- Mains water and electricity connected; drainage to private cesspits
- Broadband very slow; mobile signal average — affects homeworking
- Close to light industrial/agricultural units on one boundary
A rare development opportunity in the heart of Lympne: just over one acre with full planning consent to deliver three 5-bedroom executive barn-style homes. The site sits down a long private driveway, is tucked away and adjoins arable farmland, offering rural outlooks and strong privacy while remaining within the village centre and close to local amenities.
The planning permission (Folkestone & Hythe District Council ref 20/1718/FH, decision notice 12 Dec 2024) is granted subject to conditions and anticipates replacement of the existing dwelling. Mains water and electricity are connected; drainage is to private cesspits as required to meet Stodmarsh SSSI controls. The plots shown in the planning materials are generous, with example floor areas indicating large family homes and significant garden space.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important: broadband speeds are reported very slow and mobile signal average, which may affect home working; drainage installation to private systems will be required and is condition-controlled; and there are light industrial/agricultural units close to the site that reduce complete seclusion on one boundary. Buyers should also allow for the usual planning conditions and build costs associated with a multi-plot rural development.
This site will suit a purchaser wanting a small, high-quality boutique development in a well-connected village location — appealing to families seeking large, modern homes with countryside character and to investors or developers able to manage the build and conditions. Village facilities, good schools, easy motorway access and nearby rail links add commuter and lifestyle value.
