  • For sale by online auction
  • 6 weeks’ completion
  • For development
  • Victorian semi detached building
  • Circa 1770 sq ft
  • Planning Permission Approved
  • Vacant freehold
A unique opportunity for a residential/investment buyer to acquire one of two period semi-detached cottage styled buildings. The property has planning permission to convert into a ‘Grand Designs’ like house, whilst being immersed in natural beauty with extensive views across Ashdown Forest, set within an exclusive 100-acre private estate.

Burswood Estate is one of Kent’s hidden secrets, built in approximately 1839, the grounds include formal gardens, lakes, woodlands, and fields. Burswood Estate Manor, situated within the heart of the estate, was once formally a wellbeing centre. The estate was designed by the architect; Decimus Burton. Nearby is Groombridge, a charming village with a real community feel, boasting traditional village pubs, fine dining restaurants, and a variety of shops/boutiques. Schooling is another huge attraction to the area, with highly rated state, grammar, and private schools nearby. Tunbridge Wells provide access into London Charing Cross, and London Cannon Street with Ashurst Station within a 7-minute drive. Additionally, if you are an active outdoors person, locally there are plenty of walking trails (ideal for dog owners), cycle routes, tennis courts, and golf courses.

Internally, the property extends to 1770sqft/164sqm of internal floor space, which is set across two floors, with planning consent granted (24/01435/FULL) to convert into a 3-bedroom family home with a single storey rear extension. The proposed floor plan boasts 3-spacious bedrooms, 2-bathrooms (one of which is an en-suite to the principal bedroom), a spacious open-plan kitchen dining/living area with doors leading you directly out onto the private garden, a garden room overlooking and having direct access to a private garden, and a study room (ideal as a work from home office with its own external entrance). Externally you would then have a mature rear garden with expansive views over the valley to the right hand side, and parking to front.

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
