I really like the potential of the land and buildings coupled with the covenience of living in the village centre - James Hickman, Rural Property & Land
#TheGardenOfEngland
A former rural smallholding with potential situated in the popular village of Bredgar high on the North Downs which has been in the same family’s ownership for over 55 years and has never been offered on the market since. There is easy access to Sittingbourne to the north, the M2 to the west and the M20, A20 and Maidstone to the south. Comprising a 3 bedroom detached house in neat gardens, former smallholding buildings and paddock/former orchard.
About 2.65 acres.
Accommodation Summary
House : 3 beds Bathroom Kitchen Dining Room Sitting Room Hall Cloakroom
Outside: Good Size Gardens Range of Former Buildings & Piggeries Former Orchard/Paddock
Communications
Sittingbourne - 2.5 miles
M2 (Junction 5) - 4 miles
Maidstone - 10 miles
M20 (Junction 8) - 7 miles
Hollingbourne - 6 miles
Situation
The property is conveniently located high on the North Downs in the village of Bredgar which is within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Both Sittingbourne and Maidstone are highly accessible as are both the M2 (Junction 5) and the M20 (Junctions 7 & 8) which give access to all other parts of Kent or connect with the M25 and London. The are local rail services at Sittingbourne and Hollingbourne with HS1 trains to St Pancras at the former in around 58 mins and Victoria Line trains available at the latter.
The House
The house was built by the seller’s family in about 1968/1969 and has never been offered for sale until now. The property has all mains services connected and has potential for extension if required, subject to planning consent.
Gardens
There are mainly lawned gardens to the front & rear of the property. The front garden is enclosed by an iron railing fence and there is an impressive Magnolia tree whilst the rear garden is fully enclosed and again laid mainly to lawn with generous patio, shrubs & small trees and has a useful shed divided into 2 sections and a greenhouse.
Behind the back garden is a similar sized area of former orchard which leads out to the land and buildings beyond.
Outside & Buildings
The property is a former smallholding where pigs and chickens were kept together with a Cherry and Plum orchard. The land and buildings that from part of the property have been owned since the late 1930’s.
There is a generous access drive to the side of the house giving access to the former buildings which comprise:
a) Main Group of former pig & poultry housing,
b) Small Barn
c) Potting Shed/Store
d) 2 Rows of now dilapidated pig sties.
Most of the buildings are timber frame with corrugated cladding & roofing whilst the old pig sties are of old concrete block. They provide a large footprint which offers potential for redevelopment with more modern buildings, perhaps stabling and a hay barn, subject to planning.
Special Note
The majority of the contents of the buildings are to remain after completion.
Land
A single parcel of level land that currently includes a number of old cherry & plum trees. The land would suit horse grazing and there is space for a riding arena if needed (subject to planning).
Development Overage/Uplift
The area of land that is hatched on the plan and includes the old buildings will be sold subject to a 30% development overage/uplift for a period of 30 years from completion which will be triggered by the granting of planning consent for any future development but will NOT be triggered by the granting of planning consent for stabling, a riding arena, a barn or barns for agricultural use.
Planning
All planning enquiries relating to the potential of either Lot must be directed to the planning department at Swale District Council (swale.gov.uk).

Buildings/Land: There are no mains services currently connected.
