Rare opportunity to purchase a development plot within a country estate in Knockholt, Sevenoaks, with planning permission granted to convert existing buildings into two separate residential dwellings. To be sold in one transaction, the site consists of two plots, "The Barn House" and "The Squash House", which will share a split of 2/3 an acre of land.

THE BARN HOUSE - The proposed Barn House comprises a Grade II listed timber framed barn with additional outbuildings. These buildings are in a poor condition but retain their original character and appearance. Planning Permission has been granted by Sevenoaks District Council, to convert the timber framed barn and shed into a dwelling, demolish a modern agricultural building and workshop building and erect a two storey detached double garage/store with car port. Planning reference: 9/01243/LBCALT.

THE SQUASH HOUSE - built in the early 20th century and thought to be the oldest squash court in England, planning permission has been granted to convert the squash court and adjoining former stable block into a four bed dwelling with glazed link connection. Permission includes the removal of a greenhouse structure to the east of the stables and replace it with a 32m2 (44m2 with open veranda) two bedroom annex. Planning reference: 19/01198/FUL. The proposed development of the Squash House could provide 6 bedrooms in total. Note this property is curtilage listed.

Access to the site is via a private track off Rushmore Hill which will be shared with the main house (not for sale) and the buyer will be responsible for improving the condition of the track. The buyer will also be responsible for installing a grand water fountain, gates to the main entrance and some external repairs to the main residence. The plots are within the beautiful grounds of the main house which attract a variety of wild flowers, game birds and deer. The house was the primary residence for Lady Lyle of Tate and Lyle Plc. It is thought that Sir Winston Churchill, the former Prime Minister visited the estate on occasion during his time in power.

The estate is ideally positioned off the prestigious Rushmore Hill and set within 30 acres approx. of privately owned Kent countryside. The property is within a short drive of the amenities in Green Street Green, Chelsfield and Knockholt Stations. Further shopping facilities can be found in Bluewater and the M25 can be joined allowing easy access to most major road networks, Gatwick and Heathrow airports. Education is well catered for and leisure facilities including horse riding and golf are close by.

Viewings are strictly by appointment only. Please note that CGI and proposed sketches have been used in this advert.
