This site offers substantial potential for the development of three new homes, complemented by a generous landholding. -- Greg Wood, Director
#TheGardenOfEngland
An exciting opportunity to acquire a prime development site with approved consent for three new dwellings, set within approximately 4.5 acres of land. Ideally located near the sought-after villages of Marden and Staplehurst, the site offers a balance of rural charm and convenience, with excellent transport links to London via nearby railway stations. To the north lies the bustling county town of Maidstone, providing a wider array of amenities, schools, and commercial services. This well-positioned plot is perfect for developers or self-builders looking to create bespoke homes in a peaceful yet accessible countryside setting.
Proposed accommodation
• Barn 1 – A two bedroom detached single story home
• Barn 2 – A three bedroom detached home with accommodation over two floors
• Barn 3 – A three/four bedroom detached single storey home
Key Planning Conditions Summary:
• Prior approval was granted between May 2024 and February 2025 on three separate applications for the change of use of agricultural buildings to residential dwellings.
• Maidstone Borough Council granted the consents under references: 24/501009/PNQCLA, 24/503157/PNQCLA and 24/505139/PNQCLA.
• Further details and all planning documents are available on the planning portal and in our data room here:
Situation
The site is located on Staplehurst Road (A229) just outside the village of Marden and Staplehurst, within the Maidstone district. This semi-rural area offers a peaceful countryside lifestyle while remaining well-connected to larger towns and cities. The nearest train stations are Staplehurst and Marden (both about 2 miles), offering direct rail services to London, making the location particularly attractive to commuters. The area is also within reach of East Farleigh and Headcorn stations for additional travel options. Nearby towns such as Staplehurst, Maidstone (around 6 miles), and Tonbridge (approximately 10 miles) provide a broader range of shops, restaurants, and cultural amenities. For families, there are several well-rated schools nearby including Boughton Monchelsea Primary School, Marden Primary Academy, and Staplehurst School for younger children, as well as Cornwallis Academy and Maidstone Grammar School for secondary education. Marden village itself offers essential services including shops, pubs, and a post office, while the surrounding countryside provides attractive walking and cycling routes.
