South Farm Lane, Langton Green, Tunbridge Wells, Kent

This converted oast house nestles in 1.19 acres of grounds. It was sympathetically converted in the 1990s to a very high standard by the current owners but retains many original features. However, it could be developed further as planning permission exists to increase the residential accommodation by 1200 square feet. Although in a rural environment on the outskirts of Langton Green it is less than three miles from Tunbridge Wells.
