Overview
This beautiful setting presents the opportunity to renovate this L-shaped stone stables/barn into a stunning 3 bedroom, single storey home.
Planning consent was granted many years ago and a Lawful Development Certificate has recently been applied for. Consent was also granted to rebuild the two storey, Granary building, located adjacent to the stables section. This option would increase the total accommodation to over 2,400 sqft or deliver a separate annexe to the main house. The site, marked as Plot 2 on the site plan, shows the existing L shaped dwellings but not the Granary, however the original footings are still visible on the site and on the aerial photo.
The buyer will have the option to amend the designs and seek the necessary consents if required. Floor plans and proposed elevations are available upon request and any offer will be subject to the granting of the lawful development.
The entrance drive is shared with the farm cottage and is not included in the sale.
Please note that access to the site is across private land and ALL visits must be booked in advance.
Site Plan
Location
Located via a tree lined access drive, Hunts Farm sits just under seven miles southwest of Tunbridge Wells, between the villages of Hartfield and Groombridge. Peaceful and full of character, this is a stunning countryside setting.
The charming village of Hartfield, with its welcoming high street and strong sense of community, is around a couple of miles from the site. All of the essentials are here including a friendly village shop, Post Office, Nick the Butcher plus a 15th-century pub, The Bear. There is also the excellent Gallipot Inn, a 16-century pub nestled on the edge of Ashdown Forest and renowned for its classic Sunday roasts by the fire.
Just a mile outside the village is Perryhill Orchards farm shop, offering extensive local products, an onsite butcher, tearoom and bakery.
Groombridge is located to the east of the barns and features a historic, red brick Victorian station, now a heritage steam and diesel line. It has a small high street, traditional bakery and convenience store. There are two popular pubs, The Crown Inn, one of the oldest pubs in the south of England and The Junction.
Less than seven miles away, Tunbridge Wells provides an excellent choice of boutique shopping, vibrant cafés, restaurants, and the charming Pantiles.
For trips to London, Ashurst station is a 5-mile drive from Hunts Farm and offers direct trains to Charing Cross in around 1 hr 20 minutes. There are also faster services from Tunbridge Wells, if required.
There is an impressive choice of independent and state schools nearby. Hartfield itself is home to St Mary the Virgin C of E Primary and other options include Withyham, St Michael’s Primary, Brambletye, Greenfields and Lingfield College.
