Description
We are offering the opportunity to purchase a stunning individual plot with planning permission for a four-bedroom, 2148 sqft home. The plot is situated towards the end of a private road with elevated views and just a short distance from the historic village of Penshurst. Penshurst is close to Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks and Tonbridge, each offering exceptional schools, shopping facilities and excellent road and rail links to London.
The approved design combines natural cedar timber cladding, quartzite stonework, anthracite standing-seam roofing and extensive glazing. The consent also provides for a detached garage, parking, private gardens, associated landscaping, including new hedgerow and tree planting.
We estimate the GDV once complete to be approximately £1.2 - £1.25m if built and finished to a high standard.
Planning reference - 26/01621/MMA (Amendment to 25/03363/FUL to re-siting of building and internal alterations.) Please click on the link below to view the amended planning application which has yet to be approved, alongside the main application.

Prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves regarding the accuracy of all details, including planning permissions and specifications, through their own independent enquiries and inspections.
