Description

This rural building plot in Badsell Road is situated to the Southwest of the town of Paddock Wood. Paddock wood is able to provide a comprehensive range of facilities and amenities, with a rail station direct to London in under an hour. The property is located just outside of the town, in a quiet situation, whilst being easily accessible. The spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells is 6 miles to the Southwest of the property and is known for its rich history and impressive Georgian and Victorian architecture and thriving town centre, with preserved historic charm, including independent boutiques, high-end retailers, and a good collection of cafes and restaurants.

The plot comprises a former agricultural barn, with planning permission to redevelop into a spacious 5 bedroom bespoke dwelling with ample living accommodation and facilities. The plans submitted allow for an accessible home offering spacious living with integrated features throughout. Planning Permission has been granted by Tunbridge Wells Borough Council. Copies of the Decision Notices can be obtained from the selling agents or from the Council's Planning Portal. The consented plans show a total Internal Floor Area of the dwelling to be 4,540ft2, with a detached Garage. The internal layout of the property can be altered to the Purchasers taste.

Private drainage is provided on the site by a compliant sewage treatment plant located within the curtilage of the plot, having recently been installed.

Access is directly from the Badsell Road on the south side, which we believe to be a publicly adopted highway.

Please see the Property Particulars for further information on proposed layout, floor plans and elevations, planning, etc.
