We are currently advertising a property in the heart of the weald of Kent with a beautiful timber garage/barn currently used for storage which has the potential (subject to planning) to be converted to a different space while retaining the existing beams & character. Furthermore, we also see an opportunity to make this building independent to the main existing house as there is already a second driveway access to the rear of the property. The property already has a converted annexe with beautiful exposed beams which is ideal for a relative, holiday let, guests or equipped home office. 

Across the industry we are recognising demand is significantly high for properties with a separate, versatile space. Recent events has encouraged more flexible working and this is set to continue as employers have identified people can work equally as efficiently in a home environment. Trends also suggest there are more families providing accommodation for elderly relatives or their children who have left education but working and saving for their own property. We have also recognised a demand for party, craft, exercise or wellbeing spaces available for hire in rural locations run by local businesses. We envisage this space could be converted and used to either provide accommodation for family or to generate an income. 

The property we mention not only has the opportunities mentioned above, but a charming main 4 bed family home with beautiful gardens and views across its own 8.5 acre plot of land and woodland. There is a livestock shed, horse yard with 5 stables and adjoining area that could support an all-weather riding arena also subject to planning consents. 

We introduce our own expertise to help maximise the potential with any investment you make. If this isn’t quite right for you but you would like to discuss other property opportunities, please get in touch with our experienced teams.
