ESCAPE TO THE COUNTRY! AN IDEAL SMALLHOLDING WITH POTENTIAL FOR OTHER USES.

This is an exciting opportunity for you to own a regular block of pasture land, less than 25 miles from Central London.

The land has been fully fenced on all sides and includes a good-sized shed, making this site an ideal smallholding for those wanting a piece of the “good life” in an idyllic and sought-after location.

The site enjoys good road frontage and excellent access via an entrance to the west that has been set-back from the road.

Situated between Hever and Edenbridge, the land enjoys the best of both rural charm and modern convenience. With excellent transport links close by, this opportunity offers you a real escape to the country.

The land is suitable for various recreational and amenity uses, subject to any necessary consents. It’s worth noting that several nearby parcels of land, including the fields bordering the site to the north and west, have already been granted planning permission for a variety of uses.

ACCESS

The land is accessed via a secure, gated entrance that is set-back from Lydens Lane. Full vehicular access to the land is via an all-weather track that has been laid by tarmac planings.

LAND VALUES

Pasture land prices in the region are 14% higher than the average as land values rose again last year, despite numerous challenges in the local market & global economy. This once again shows the inherent resilience of agricultural land as a tangible asset.

With a wide range of potential uses, agricultural land remains an attractive investment for a diverse range of buyers. This is supported by the fact that, in the past 5 years, land values have risen by 31%, outperforming the FTSE 100, UK property prices and interest from savings in the bank.

These rises are driven by historically low levels of land availability, as demand continues to outstrip supply.
