Description

This impressive plot is located in a semi-rural setting on the edge of the sought-after village of Rotherfield. The design from local architects, Studio Hudson, make the most of the elevated position with views across the large, south-facing garden.

The approach to the site is via a private, no through road which will lead to a parking area for several cars and a detached double garage.

The plot sits within the heart of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and offers privacy but not total isolation. After purchasing the site the buyer will have the option to seek permission for amendments to the approved design if required or submit a new planning application.

Full planning permission, reference WD/2021/2402/F, has been granted for the existing stables to be replaced by a contemporary, detached dwelling. A Lawful Development Certificate has since been issued confirming that works have commenced.

If required we can introduce the buyer to a preferred contractor to deliver the house to an agreed specification for a fully fixed price.

The plot is located on the edge of the charming village of Rotherfield, 3 miles to the west of Crowborough and approximately 7 miles south of Royal Tunbridge Wells.

Rotherfield is a thriving community which offers a handful of quaint shops and cafes. Also serving the village are the bustling traditional pubs, The Kings Arms and The Catt Inn, which both serve fantastic food and provide live entertainment. The village also benefits from a church, village hall, the Cuckoo Line farm shop and village store.

Golf clubs nearby are Dewlands Manor, Crowborough Beacon Golf Club, The Nevill in Tunbridge Wells. The site is just 10 miles from Bewl Water which offers fishing, sailing and other water-sports.

There are a number of excellent schools in the area including Rotherfield Primary, Mayfield School, Sacred Heart Preparatory, Beacon Academy and Uplands Community College. Rotherfield falls within the catchment area for all Tunbridge Wells Grammar schools which are all accessible from a bus stop that is just a 5 minute walk away.
