***DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY***
Tucked discreetly away in its lush green setting, with glorious views, this beautiful oak framed building stands proud.
It enjoys spectacular views of open countryside and the cricket green opposite, whilst being a stone's throw from village amenities. It is also a short drive from excellent transport links and first-class schooling.
It is set back from the road by a driveway flanked by high mature hedging, with a lawned garden to the rear with exquisite views beyond.
It is currently used for garaging, storage and family recreation rooms with a first floor living space complete with kitchen, shower room and bedroom.
A wide sit on balcony to the rear gives you extra living space in the warmer months to enjoy the surrounding High Weald area of outstanding natural beauty.
Whilst it is currently a versatile space, planning permission has been granted for its change of use and conversion into an extended residential dwelling.
The approved plans permit the creation of a two reception, two bedroom, two bathroom property, including a dormer window at first floor level. Full details can be accessed via, Sevenoaks District Councils website, using the planning reference number 19/02732/FUL, or PP-08164364.
