The plot takes full advantage of far reaching views across Kent countryside and is within walking distance to Brenchley village and Paddock Wood station is approximately 2.5 miles distance. Paygate Cottage in its current format offers versatile family accommodation with sitting room which was built as an extension in recent years (which will have to be removed as part of the new planning application).

With this unique opportunity the planning allows for part of Paygate Cottage to remain as the additional accommodation, which could provide a work from home office and hobbies/storage.
