Loose, Kent

Set within the much sought after Loose Valley Conservation Area, full planning has been granted for the demolition of existing agricultural buildings and the erection of 2 exceptional barn-style dwellings, each offering accommodation of 2,449 sq ft.

After purchasing a plot, buyers will have the opportunity to amend the design and external materials if required, subject to gaining the necessary consents. Each plot is to be sold as a self-build opportunity but a main contractor is available to build out the units under a fixed price contract if required.

The ground floor of the current designs by Level Architecture provides a separate living room, central entrance hall with staircase and storage, and an open-plan kitchen and dining space. On the first floor the proposed accommodation offers four double bedrooms including 3 en-suites plus a family bathroom.

Full details of the planning consent can be found at 23/503252/FULL.

Located three miles south of Maidstone, the picturesque village of Loose is ideal for those seeking a charming, semi-rural location with excellent communication links. The village is well known for its pretty stream, charming cottages and exceptional local walks.

Local amenities include a Sainsbury’s, dry cleaner, pharmacy, post office, dentist, doctor’s surgery and popular pubs, The Loose Chequers and The Walnut Tree.

As well as Loose Primary School and the Cornwallis Academy, the area is well served with a wide range of private and state schools catering for children of all ages including Sutton Valance, Bethany, Benenden, Dulwich Preparatory School, Benenden as well as a number of grammar schools in Tonbridge and Maidstone.

East Farleigh Station (2.6 miles) and Maidstone West Station (3.8 miles) offer regular rail services to London. Staplehurst Station (6.2 miles) is also a short distance and offers commuters a regular service to London in under an hour.  The M20 can be reached via Maidstone, giving access to the ferry ports, the M25 for Heathrow and Gatwick Airports and other motorway networks.

The project presents an opportunity to design and manage the construction of your dream home.

Most of our self-build buyers choose to work with a main contractor on a fixed-price build contract, with monthly payments in arrears and all works are overseen by a qualified chartered surveyor. If required we can also recommend architects, planning consultants plus surveyors to oversee construction on your behalf.

Full planning drawings are available on request and please note that site visits are available strictly by appointment only.
