Description
Culpeppers is set within a High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty along a rural country lane, about 1.2 miles to the south of the sought-after village of Benenden and 3.6 miles from Cranbrook. Set within a generous plot, in all amounting to about 2 acres, it provides an increasingly rare opportunity for private purchasers to demolish and rebuild a country home to their own specification.
Full planning permission Ref 23/01223/FULL (resubmission of 22/03419/FULL) has been granted to demolish the existing dwelling and outbuildings, erection of new replacement dwelling with associated landscaping.
The currently proposed plans would allow for an open plan kitchen/dining/family room, a sitting room, study/playroom, utility room and cloakroom on the ground floor. On the first floor a principal bedroom with en suite bathroom and dressing room, three further bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate en suite shower room.
Proposed environmental features and renewable technologies could potentially include:
- Photo voltaic solar panels
- Ground or air source heat pump
- Biomass boiler and heat recovery system
- Rainwater harvesting unit to minimise water consumption
- Klargester treatment plant
- High levels of insulation
