4 bed detached house for sale

Knockholt Road, Halstead, Sevenoaks, Kent TN14

Merridene presents an opportunity to acquire a residential development site in the heart of the popular village of Halstead.

The existing detached four bedroom property has stood vacant for many years and now requires complete renovation. However, the site's true value lies in its redevelopment potential. Permission in Principle has been granted by Sevenoaks District Council (Application No. 26/01497/pip) for the demolition of the existing dwelling and the construction of a minimum of one and a maximum of two new homes, subject to the necessary detailed consents.

Occupying a village setting, the property offers purchasers the opportunity to create a superb bespoke family home or, subject to the necessary consents, two smaller dwellings that could appeal to a broader range of buyers.

Halstead is a popular village, offering a blend of countryside living and excellent accessibility. The village provides a range of local amenities, while the larger towns of Sevenoaks and Orpington are within easy reach, offering extensive shopping, leisure and mainline rail services.
