Description

This property presents a promising development opportunity, situated just on the edge of Swanley Village. The site features a rectangular plot that offers potential for significant investment and renovation. Currently, the area includes four shipping containers, which will be removed by the seller before completion. Access to the site is conveniently located to the north, connecting directly to Wood Street. A mature tree line along the western boundary adds natural privacy and character to the space. Strategically positioned, this site benefits from excellent transport links, making it an ideal choice for those looking to commute to London; Swanley Station provides direct services to London Bridge with journey times as short as 19 minutes. The proximity of major road networks, including the M25 and routes leading to Gatwick and Heathrow airports, further enhances its accessibility for both personal travel and logistical purposes. The location also boasts an array of educational institutions, encompassing both state and private schools, including reputable grammar schools. For leisure activities, numerous options are available nearby—golf enthusiasts can enjoy established courses like Birchwood Park Golf Club and The London Golf Club, while shopping and dining opportunities abound at the Bluewater shopping center. The site holds planning consent for the construction of a single detached dwelling alongside a car barn and associated landscaping alterations (Planning Ref: 24/02390/FUL). This approval opens avenues for customized development tailored to market demand or individual preference. Potential investors are encouraged to conduct thorough due diligence regarding services and any additional costs related to development prior to making an offer. The property is being sold freehold with vacant possession upon completion. With its desirable location and approved plans in place, this plot represents an attractive opportunity for those looking to capitalize on residential development in a growing area.
