Description

// Guide Price £750,000 - £800,000 // Exciting Development Opportunity for 5 Dwellings in Sought-After Village Location with Outline Planning Permission

Site Description - The property comprises the former agricultural yard at Ryarsh Place Farm, situated off Birling Road in the village of Ryarsh, Kent.

The site is presently occupied by a range of agricultural buildings, predominantly dating from the 1960s and 1970s, together with some older structures.

The buildings are arranged around areas of predominantly concrete hardstanding. Vehicular access is currently provided from Birling Road via a concrete and hard-surfaced entrance track leading southwards into the site. The property occupies an attractive village location within Ryarsh, approximately 2.5 miles from West Malling and approximately 4.5 miles from Kings Hill.

Ryarsh itself provides a range of local amenities including a primary school, village hall and the Duke of Wellington public house.

West Malling provides a wider range of shops, restaurants and everyday amenities together with a railway station. Rail services from West Malling to London Victoria take approximately 53 minutes.

The site is well positioned for access to the surrounding Kent countryside and the wider road network, with Kings Hill and West Malling both within convenient travelling distance. Gatwick Airport is approximately 33 miles away.

Planning - Outline Planning Permission was granted by Tonbridge & Malling Borough Council on 7 May 2026 under planning reference:25/00501/OA for: The demolition of the existing range of modern agricultural buildings and redevelopment of the site with five dwellings, comprising one single-storey dwelling and four chalet style dwellings, together with associated car ports, hardstanding for car parking and turning, landscaping works and the conversion of the existing former stable building into an ancillary domestic outbuilding.
