Pommeus Lane, Ripple, Deal

Occupying a generous plot of approximately 1.84 acres (TBV), Fourwinds presents a rare opportunity to acquire a detached chalet bungalow with planning permission already granted to create a truly outstanding contemporary family home.

The existing property offers versatile accommodation extending to over 1,500 sq. ft., with flexible living space comprising three/four bedrooms, two bathrooms and two reception rooms. While perfectly habitable as it stands, the real appeal lies in the exciting transformation that has already been approved.

The planning permission (Dover Planning Ref: 24/00189) allows for a comprehensive remodel and extension, creating an exceptional home of approximately 5,000 sq. ft. The proposed design centres around a spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and family room with direct access to a substantial raised entertaining terrace overlooking the gardens. In addition, the plans include a separate snug, family room, home office, utility room and boot room, together with four generous double bedrooms, including a luxurious principal suite with a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite, a second en-suite bedroom, and a stylish family bathroom.

Outside, the mature grounds provide an exceptional setting, featuring extensive lawned gardens, mature trees, a wildflower meadow, ample parking, a detached garage and a substantial garden studio offering excellent potential as a home office, gym or creative workspace.

Whether you're looking for a modest home in a stunning setting from which to enjoy the good life, or an opportunity to create a bespoke Grand Designs-style home without the uncertainty of obtaining planning permission, Fourwinds offers an exceptional opportunity to bring a remarkable vision to life.

"We fell in love with Fourwinds for its peaceful setting, far-reaching views and wonderful sense of space. It's been a fantastic place to raise our young family, with plenty of room for the children to explore, nature all around, and the beach just a short drive away. We also loved the excellent transport links, with the high-speed station just five minutes away.

We always knew the property had incredible potential and secured planning permission for a stunning contemporary extension to create our forever home. However, by pure chance, the neighbouring property came onto the market – an opportunity we simply couldn't turn down – so we're now building our dream home there instead.

We can't wait to see what the next owners create at Fourwinds. With planning already in place and such a special location, it offers a rare opportunity to create an exceptional family home or just enjoy the existing one in this stunning little spot in the Kent countryside.”
