Description

This property presents a significant renovation opportunity, featuring an expansive barn with prior planning permission for transformation into a single-storey, four-bedroom residence. Situated on over two acres of lush grounds, the barn offers ample space to develop a distinctive contemporary home tailored to individual preferences. Located in a serene hamlet at the end of Mount Castle Lane, this site boasts breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, creating a peaceful backdrop for residential life. The potential for open-plan living spaces is evident in its generous layout, allowing future owners to design bright and airy interiors that seamlessly blend with the natural landscape. The property benefits from its proximity to essential amenities found in nearby villages such as Lenham and Charing, which also offer mainline rail connections for convenient commuting. Ashford International is only a short distance away, providing high-speed rail services to London, further enhancing the investment appeal of this location. Additionally, there is an option to acquire the adjacent Mount Castle Cottage—a four-bedroom detached home with a two-bedroom annex set within approximately one acre of grounds. This could provide versatile uses or additional investment potential alongside the barn conversion project. Overall, this property stands out not only for its idyllic setting but also for its promising prospects in the current market.
