Freehold - Council Tax Band E
About 59.65 acres
Situation
The property is situated in the Kent Weald National Landscape Area (formerly the AONB) at the far end of Lomas Lane which is a no through lane used by a number of rural properties. The farm is conveniently located with easy access to a number of local towns and villages in both Kent and East Sussex. The property falls within the Cranbrook School Catchment Area but there are a number of primary and secondary schools in the surrounding area within both the private and public sector.
Bungalow
Planning consent was granted for the bungalow on 21st August 1997 under planning reference TW/97/01339 and the sellers moved in in 2007. The bungalow occupies a convenient, slightly elevated position close to the farm buildings and provides comfortable accommodation. It is felt that there is potential for the bungalow to be extended if required.
Planning
Agricultural Occupancy Condition (AOC) – The bungalow is subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition which states “the occupation of the dwelling shall be limited to a person solely or mainly employed, or last employed, locally in agriculture, as defined in Section 221 (1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1962, or in forestry, or a dependent of such a person residing with him (but including a widow or widower of such as person)”.
‘’Agriculture’’ is defined in the Town & Country Planning Act 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.
Farm Buildings
These are located close to the bungalow and provide a total of about 21,700 sq. ft. of covered space which can be used for a variety of agricultural uses. The sellers have mainly used them for housing their beef cattle but they could equally be used for lambing sheep or forage storage.
