Knatts Valley, Sevenoaks

A unique development opportunity in a beautiful, woodland setting within the Kent Downs National Landscape, around 5 miles north of Sevenoaks.

The entrance sweeps through bluebell, ancient woodland and opens on to a gently undulating, beautiful space. The site is bordered with mature trees on both sides and open countryside to the rear, offering a private, tranquil setting.

In August ’26, full planning consent was attained to demolish the barn, dwellings plus ancillary buildings and erect two high end, contemporary dwellings designed by award winning architect Tony Holt Design with over 12,000 sqft collectively.

Full details of the planning approval are available via reference 26/00409/FUL on the Sevenoaks District Council website.

Prospective buyers have the option to implement the current consent or to design a new scheme for an increased number of dwellings, subject to gaining the necessary consents. In our view a redesigned scheme of 3 or 4 high end bespoke dwellings could deliver a stunning development.

A new, electric gated entrance has been constructed and finished in Norstone Slate XLV cladding with granite copings and pillar caps. 3 phase power is on site 35m into the plot on the left hand boundary in a UKPN approved kiosk.

The woodland boundaries on each side have been closed board fencing, with post and rail on the open spaces.

The site benefits from mains drains with a proposed pumping system to be installed from the top dwelling, with a brand new Biopure 2 treatment plant and drainage field in place ready for the larger property and outbuilding.

There is an additional consent for a large outbuilding to the rear of the site that would be ideal for a home business or studio, details of which are available via planning reference 25/01421/LDCPR.

The site is located north of Kemsing and Otford, and to the south of Knatts Valley. It offers a peaceful and attractive setting with a strong sense of countryside, while remaining conveniently close to the surrounding towns and amenities.

Otford mainline station is approximately 2 miles from the site, providing regular services to London Victoria and London Bridge. Sevenoaks town centre and station are within easy reach.

The area is well served by a range of highly regarded state and independent schools, including St Michael’s Preparatory School, Knole Academy, Walthamstow Hall and Russell House School, with Weald of Kent Grammar School and Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys also within convenient reach.

The site presents a genuinely unique, development opportunity for both private buyers and developers.
