Description
A rare opportunity to acquire one of two exceptional building plots in a highly desirable South Tunbridge Wells location, each benefitting from outline planning permission for the construction of an impressive executive-style detached family home.
Enjoying generous plot sizes and a secluded setting, The Plots at Whinlatter offer purchasers the chance to design and create a substantial five-bedroom residence, tailored to their own specification, subject to the necessary reserved matters approvals. The proposed homes are envisioned as spacious, contemporary family properties extending to approximately 3,000 sq. ft., with ample accommodation arranged over two floors and the potential for a detached double garage.
Access to the plots will be via a private driveway, which serves just 2 other residences, both set a generous distance from this plot. The setting combines privacy and exclusivity with excellent access to the amenities, schools and transport links that have made the south side of Tunbridge Wells one of the town's most sought-after locations.
Building plots of this calibre are seldom available, particularly in such a prestigious residential area, making this a unique opportunity for self-builders, developers or those seeking to create a bespoke family home in an outstanding location.
Planning documentation and further information are available upon request.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
