Description

The Straw Shed is situated on the edge of Eynsford which is a beautiful village at the heart of the Darent Valley, set in the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has an ancient hump back bridge and ford together with many Tudor buildings, a Norman church and the ruins of a Norman castle nestling beside the river Darent. Eynsford has a number of local shops, pubs and restaurants and is within close proximity of the M20/M25.

The idyllic, secluded plot enjoys magnificent views over the surrounding farmland to the front and rear and the North Downs, accessed off a private, no through road, providing an exciting self-build opportunity, with planning permission granted for a detached family home of approximately 3,063 sq ft in an attractive spot.

The proposed plans comprise accommodation arranged over the ground floor to include a spacious entrance hall with coats cupboard, an open plan kitchen/dining room with doors opening to a rear terrace, an adjoining utility room and boot room, a versatile bedroom/snug, a study, bathroom, and access to the integral garage.

Arranged over the first floor the accommodation will comprise an impressive principal bedroom suite served by a dressing room and well-appointed en suite bathroom, together with an additional three bedrooms, all with en suite shower rooms.
