A unique opportunity to purchase three properties all set within a generous 2.35 acre plot, in Hollingbourne, with further development potential (subject to planning). The owners have spent the last 5 years obtaining full planning permission and listed building consent together with all building regulations (ready to start) to convert the nearly completed Coach House into a one bedroom dwelling and fully refurbish the two houses including rebuilding the rear corner of the front house, adding a porch front and rear, insulating and re-rendering both, replacing/refurbishing all windows and re-tiling the pitched roof to rear in natural slate.
The original part of the house dates back to 1762 and was later heavily extended in 1844 where it became a large detached residence until 1951 when it was divided up into two semi-detached houses. In addition, the coach house is believed to date back to the mid 19th century. The properties and the land were listed in 1977. The land boasts a 1/4 acre lake plus stream and duck pond with stunning waterfall and sluice gate which controls the water level. The land spans a total of 2.35 acres and includes a double garage (with planning to rebuild), outbuildings, plus planning permission for a further double garage and utility for the coach house.
The imposing Corn Mill, which was set over 3 stories, sat in the centre of the plot and dated back to 1610 has had the foundations unearthed and, subject to planning consent, a new structure could potentially be rebuilt in its place.
The popular village of Hollingbourne is served by several pubs and locally renowned restaurants, primary school, parish church and local parks. There is a London line station in Hollingbourne with free parking, travelling direct to Victoria and Blackfriars, and two stops to Maidstone, the county town of Kent, which is c5-miles away.
