WHY BUY THIS LAND?
A desirable opportunity for you to own approx. 3 acres of flat pasture land. The land lies close to large, characterful properties within an incredibly beautiful and tranquil setting.
The land lies on Lydens Lane and is accessed via a gated entrance to the west that is set back from the main road.
Pleasantly situated between the affluent areas of Edenbridge and Hever, the land is less than 25 miles from Central London and with excellent transport links offers a real escape to the country.
The land is currently suitable for a range of recreational and amenity uses. Other uses are STPP, but it should be noted that planning permission has been granted on several parcels of Green Belt land in the local area for a variety of uses.
ACCESS
The land lies off Lydens Lane. Excellent and secure access is provided via a gated entrance to the west that is set back from the road. Full vehicular right of way is provided from this entrance to the land via an easement.
LAND VALUES
The average value of land increased by 10% in the past year, outperforming several other asset classes. This highlights lands continued resilience to economic uncertainty, enhancing its reputation as a hedge against inflation.
Demand remained exceptionally strong throughout the year from investors and lifestyle purchasers. Buyers looking to farm regeneratively, plant trees to harvest carbon, or even rewild have also been strong players.
It seems unlikely that there will be a huge surge in the availability of land for sale next year, and with demand expected to remain strong, land values should continue to climb.
PLANNING
The land is situated within the Metropolitan Green Belt. Any development would be subject to the appropriate planning permission.
LOCAL AUTHORITY
Sevenoaks District Council
EQUESTRIAN
Two parcels of land within the Green Belt and less than ½ mile from the site have been granted planning permission for stable buildings.
Just a short walk from the land for sale at the end of Lydens Lane, a parcel of land on Hartfield Road has been granted planning for a stable building totalling 105 sq.m consisting of 3 stables, a tack room and hay store (Ref. 20/02177/FUL).
Another parcel of land on Roman Road has been granted planning permission for the erection of a stable building, feed store and track room (Ref. 20/02950/FUL).
Furthermore, an extensive network of bridle paths can be found just ½ mile from the land for sale and provide a long distance hack through some of the area's finest countryside.
The horse racing enthusiast can enjoy a day at the races at nearby Lingfield Park. As well as being a popular racecourse, Lingfield Park Resort also boasts an onsite luxury hotel, leisure club and a challenging golf course.
LOCAL DEVELOPMENT
The local council's Sevenoaks District Local Plan submitted in December 2018 has allocated 28 hectares of Green Belt land for development less than 2 miles from the land for sale.
An outline planning application has been submitted on the land south of Four Elms Road & east of Bray Road for the erection of 340 dwellings, a new secondary school, a new twin hall venue and a new car park for Edenbridge Train Station (Ref. 20/02988/OUT).
This follows the successful appeal for the development of 300 new homes on land west of St Johns Way, which was formerly within the Green Belt (Ref. 14/03783/OUT). This site lies less than 2 miles from the land for sale.
HOUSE PRICES
The land is situated within an extremely affluent area. House prices in the Edenbridge and Hever area are 64% above the county average and 92% above the national average. These premium house prices reflect the desirability of the area as a place to live and own property - including land.
