House For Sale £725,000
I really like this location, being just outside the village and enjoying a great rural outlook - James Hickman, Rural Property & Land
#TheGardenOfEngland
A former 'Colt' farmhouse, of principally timber frame construction, situated in a quiet and highly accessible rural location within easy reach of the A20, M20 & M26.
The property sits in good size gardens with useful garaging & stores and is offered with an area of pastureland.
The house is subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition. (See Planning below).
About 3 acres
Situation
The property is situated within the Kent Downs National Landscape in Tumblefield Road just to the south of Stansted village. Stansted has a village church and pub and is situated approximately 0.5 mile north of the farm. Sevenoaks provides a comprehensive range of facilities and amenities including supermarkets, restaurants, public houses and leisure facilities along with national road and rail links to London.
The property is in a rural location but motorway access is only minutes away at Junction 2 of the M20 or Junction 2a of the M26. The villages of Wrotham, Borough Green and Meopham are all within a 5 mile radius along with a train station at Borough Green.
The Property
The farmhouse comprises a detached ‘Colt’ house originally built in 1962 and subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition. The house is predominantly of timber frame construction clad with cedar wood shingle with an addition to the southern elevation in brick all under a cedar shingle roof. There have been a couple of extensions over time, the most notable in 1980.
Outside/Gardens
There is an oak framed open fronted double Garage with lockable Garden Store to the front of the farmhouse along with lawned and bedded gardens to the front, sides and rear with a gravel driveway and off road parking for several vehicles. Adjacent to the entrance is a Garage of brick construction under a pitched corrugated fibre cement roof with an up and over door.
Land
The property includes a parcel of pastureland which is currently part of a larger field. This lies to the west of the house and runs down to part of Lords Wood to the west. The southern boundary is currently unfenced and will need to be surveyed and fenced with stockproof fencing on completion.
Special Note: The seller will be reserving the right to receive water to the land he is keeping from the house supply.
Planning
1) The Agricultural Occupancy Condition on the farmhouse states that the occupation of the dwelling shall be limited to persons employed or last employed locally in agriculture as defined in Section 119 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1947 or in Forestry and the Dependents of Such persons.
2) ‘’Agriculture’’ is generally defined in the Town & Country Planning Acts as: ‘’horticulture, fruit growing, seed growing, dairy farming, the breeding and keeping of livestock (including any creature kept for the production of food, wool, skins or fur, or for the purpose of its use in the farming of land), the use of land as grazing land, meadow land, osier land, market gardens and nursery grounds, and the use of land for woodlands where that use is ancillary to the farming of land for other agricultural purposes, and “agricultural” shall be construed accordingly.’’
The property is outside the AONB but within the Green Belt.
All planning enquiries relating to the property must be directed to the planning department at Tonbridge & Malling Borough Council ().
