For anyone seeking a self-build project in a protected countryside setting, this rare Kent plot, listed on Plotfinder, offers an exceptional chance to create a bespoke home within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Situated near the village of Goudhurst, the site extends to approximately 6.1 acres and benefits from full planning permission for an architect-designed dwelling.
Combining privacy, rural character and remarkable views, it presents a genuine opportunity for those wishing to build their own home in the Kent landscape.
What do the plans for the plot include?
Planning permission has been granted to replace the existing equestrian buildings with a contemporary home and garage.
The approved design by winning architect Claire Scerri RIBA ARB uses materials that respond to the local setting, including stone, Corten steel, and timber, along with a living brown roof.
Landscape and ecological improvements form part of the approved scheme, introducing an orchard, wildflower meadow, and native planting.
The design follows a sustainable “fabric-first” approach, optimising insulation and airtightness, with provision for ground or air source heat pumps to generate renewable energy.
The planning reference is 20/01808/FULL on the Tunbridge Wells Borough Council website.
What the plot includes
The plot covers approximately 6.1 acres and includes former stables, paddocks, a manège, and boundary woodland.
Its elevated position provides wide views over the Teise Valley, with the removal of existing structures opening up the outlook further.
Located within the Kent AONB, the land benefits from a setting that remains protected from large-scale development.
