Land For Sale £2,000,000
Well located former golf course land on the fringe of Edenbridge Town with strategic potential
Description
The Skeynes Land presents an exciting opportunity to acquire a sizeable area of land bordered by open countryside to the west and an expanding town with good rail links into central London to the east.
Previously the land was run as a golf course in conjunction with the neighbouring, Kent and Surrey Golf & Country Club to the north, however it has since been allowed to revert to a more natural state. 6.14 acres of land fronts onto Crouch House Road where there are five disused tennis courts and there is an access track onto the land leading from the highway.
There is a former Green Keeper’s building which has been used as a workshop and storage barn, but would now potentially lend itself well to alternative uses subject to gaining the necessary planning consents.
The Building: Situated at the end of a private track, lies a former Green Keeper’s building which overlooks a pond to the rear.
The dimensions for the barn are: Barn Max External 18.4m x 16.3m. Attached Shed 10.2m x 3.1m. Total Gross External Area = 331.8qsm (3,571sqft). This building has been used a workshop and storage facility for use alongside the golf club but now lies redundant.
The Land: Approximately 97.81 acres of former golf club land no longer in active leisure use and subject to natural regeneration.
Situation
The Skeynes Land is situated within 0.9 miles of Edenbridge High Street which offers a range of shopping facilities.
Mainline Rail Services: Edenbridge Town (0.8 miles) to London Bridge. Edenbridge (1.4 miles) to London Bridge (from 44 minutes).
Motorway Links: The A22 provides access to the M25 orbital motorway linking to other road networks, Gatwick and Heathrow Airports and the coast.
GENERAL REMARKS

Parties interested in pusuing this potential will need to seek their own advice from the Local Authorities or engage the services of planning professionals.
