Longbrooks Oast is offered as a rare self-build development plot with full planning permission (Tunbridge Wells ref 24/02770/FULL) for a contemporary five-bedroom detached house. The approved design proposes brick, zinc and cedar lap cladding, large open-plan living spaces and terraces, set within a very large plot in a tranquil Kent countryside setting.
The location balances rural calm with accessibility: Paddock Wood mainline station is approximately 2.5 miles and Tunbridge Wells around 8 miles, making London commuter stations reachable in under 50 minutes. Local villages provide basic amenities and well-regarded primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, supporting family life.
Buyers should note this is a development opportunity rather than a finished home. The existing agricultural barn will be demolished as part of the consented scheme; the plot will require coordination of the build, services connections and on-site project management. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, which may affect home working until upgraded.
This plot will suit an experienced self-builder, developer or family seeking a bespoke new home in an affluent rural area. The approved, contemporary scheme reduces planning risk while leaving scope to proceed with construction, adapt finishes, or reconfigure internal layouts in line with personal requirements.
