Estate Agent Description

Exciting Development Opportunity with Planning Consent for a Detached Three bedroom Bungalow in Superb Green Belt location, with Works Started.

Site Description

The plot is approached via a private drive from the main Holwood Estate entrance on Westerham Road. The site benefits from an individual private drive, with the plot widening to full width where the new dwelling will be located, the site then narrows slightly at the far end of the plot. The proposed scheme comprises the erection of a single storey, three bedroom contemporary dwelling with associated parking and access.

The site which gently slopes gently from south to north overlooks fields to the north, woodland to the west and adjoins the retained garden of Orchard Cottage to the east. The proposed rear of the property benefits from floor to ceiling glass, with roof lights through the hallway and living area.

Location

The site is situated in a pleasant Green Belt location near Keston village, within the Borough of Bromley, in Greater London. The proposed property enjoys a delightful rural setting, located in a quiet backwater of Keston and backs onto Green Belt land. We understand the site lies on the edge of the historic Holwood Estate, once home to the famous Prime Minister, William Pitt the Younger. Although close to local amenities including Keston Common and the well known Keston Ponds, the site offers peace and tranquillity with the benefits of nearby excellent transport links. The site at Keston is located an approximate 3.8 miles from Bromley, with its excellent shopping facilities, schools and leisure facilities. Bromley is situated approximately 15 miles from the centre of London. Meanwhile Bromley South Railway Station offers a service to London Victoria from 16 minutes. The town also benefits from being on multiple London Bus routes
