Description

Development Opportunity | Planning Permission Granted for Conversion to 4 Flats & 5 Separate Dwellings | Approx 1.41 of an Acre Plot | Doddington Village | Private Gated Access |

A rare and exciting development opportunity, this substantial Victorian property occupies an impressive 1.41-acre plot and benefits from full planning permission for the construction of five new dwellings, alongside the conversion of the principal residence into four apartments and the extension of the existing cottage.

Positioned in a highly sought-after location on Chequers Hill in the charming village of Doddington, the property enjoys a private gated entrance and far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside, offering both privacy and a picturesque setting.

The main building is currently arranged to provide a well-presented top-floor apartment with its own separate access, while the remainder of the property offers additional, versatile living accommodation.

Within the grounds, a separate cottage provides further potential, complete with its own driveway parking and garden. The vacant cottage is in good condition and has rental or caretaker potential. The cottage also has planning permission in place for extensions as part of the approved scheme.

Full details of the planning permission can be found on the Swale planning portal (Ref: 23/503908/FULL). For further information or to arrange a viewing, please contact Quealy & Co.
