This commercial property presents a noteworthy opportunity for renovation or investment in Tonbridge, complete with planning permission for the development of two three-bedroom residences. Currently, the site is home to a motorcycle showroom and workshop, featuring a roadside forecourt and additional accommodation on the upper floor. Positioned north of Tonbridge town center, it sits at the intersection of Dernier Road and Shipbourne Road, approximately 2.5 meters back from the main street and surrounded by predominantly residential areas, alongside a service station, public house, and primary school just a short walk away.
Tonbridge is known for its rich history and community amenities. The town boasts an impressive 13th-century castle and offers a variety of shopping options, including well-known retail chains as well as charming independent stores. For further retail experiences, nearby towns such as Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks provide additional shopping venues. The area benefits from excellent transport links to London and coastal destinations via the A21 and A26 routes, along with quick train services from Tonbridge station to central London—reaching London Bridge in as little as 31 minutes.
The region is also well-equipped with educational facilities, featuring both state-run and private schools, including several grammar schools that cater to families in the area. Additionally, recreational offerings abound; residents can enjoy local leisure options such as Nizels Health Club, Tonbridge School Sports Centre, Poult Wood Golf Centre, Angel Leisure Centre, and various golf courses located slightly beyond the immediate vicinity.
With existing planning consent allowing for the demolition of the current motorcycle garage to make way for two modern dwellings complete with off-street parking and private amenity space (23/00974/FL), this property provides significant potential for developers or investors looking to capitalize on its prime location amidst growing residential demand in Tonbridge.
