Description

Property Ref: S6057

** BEST AND FINAL OFFERS ARE INVITED BY 1PM ON 09/10/2026 - The seller reserves the right to consider suitable proceedable offers prior to the deadline** A good-sized plot located on Wissenden Lane, in the picturesque village of Bethersden, Kent. The wooded plot extends to approximately 1.1 acres and is bordered by a natural watercourse on three sides, creating a peaceful and scenic setting. This attractive parcel offers a rare opportunity in a sought-after location, combining natural beauty with convenient access to local amenities and transport links.

The site has been used for leisure and is not being sold as development land. However, development prospects may be available under Paragraph 84(e) of the National Planning Policy Framework, offering the potential for a well-designed home in the countryside. Other planning opportunities may also exist.
No residential planning consent has been obtained, and the price reflects this. If planning consent were in place, the site would be listed at a substantially higher price, as it is located in a high-value area of Kent (for example, properties on the same street have sold for over one million – £1,300,000 on 27/01/2021 and £1,065,000 on 26/07/2024, based on land registry data)
The plot benefit from mature trees protected by a Tree Preservation Order, adding character, privacy, and a sense of tranquillity to the setting.
