SUMMARY
AUCTION SALE 10 September 2026 - Freehold site of approximately 2.5 acres

DESCRIPTION
Freehold site of approximately 2.5 acres

Location:
The land is situated on The Grove in Pembury, a popular village on the eastern outskirts of Tunbridge Wells in Kent. Public transport links are provided by High Brooms and Tunbridge Wells Railway Stations, together
with a network of local bus services serving the surrounding area. An extensive range of shopping amenities can be found within Tunbridge Wells town centre, including the Royal Victoria Place shopping centre, whilst recreational pursuits include Dunorlan Park, Grosvenor & Hilbert Park and the surrounding Kent countryside. Road links are provided by the A21, which in turn provides access to the M25 motorway.

Description:
A roughly rectangular woodland site (approximately 2.5 acres) with access from The Grove.

Potential:
The site may be suitable for development or a variety of alternative uses, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents. Prospective purchasers must rely upon their own enquiries in this respect.

To view:
By application to the site during daylight hours.

Important Notice:
For each Lot, a contract documentation fee of £1,800 (inclusive of VAT) is payable to Barnard Marcus Auctions by the buyer. The seller may charge additional fees payable upon completion. If applicable, such fees are detailed within the Special Conditions of Sale. Buyers are deemed to bid in full knowledge of this.

The Guide Price quoted must not be relied upon by prospective purchasers as a valuation or assessment of value of the property. It is intended to provide purchasers with an indication of the region at which the reserve may be set at the time of going to press. The guide price may be subject to variation and interested parties are advised to make regular checks for variations and should be aware that the reserve price may be either below or above the quoted guide price.

Prospective purchasers should also be aware that the eventual sale price may be above or below the guide level dependent upon competition, and should therefore not presume the guide to be indicative of the final expected sale price or the price the property is available at.

When setting the guide price, the auctioneers have given consideration to the seller’s instructions in respect of their indicated reserve price at the time of instruction. The reserve price, (the level below which the property will not be sold), remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. The guide price therefore, is intended to indicate the region at which the reserve price is intended to be set. The seller will confirm their final reserve price close to the auction date and if appropriate the auctioneers may adjust the guide price to reflect this.
Whilst Barnard Marcus make every effort to ensure the safety and security of viewers at properties, we have not carried out a detailed Health & Safety inspection of properties in our auctions and cannot therefore guarantee the safety and security of viewers.
Prospective purchasers and bidders attend properties entirely at their own risk. Particular care should be taken when accessing cellars, attics, exterior areas and outbuildings and boundaries. All non-conducted inspections of vacant sites should be made in daylight hours only and entry into such sites is entirely at the viewers risk.
