Planning permission was granted by Tonbridge & Malling Borough Council.

The house is set in the beautiful rural setting of Shipbourne Common, within a Conservation area and the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The project involves the optimisation of the ground floor layout whilst at the same time keeping the charming character of the house.

An elegant open plan kitchen/dining/living space will be created with a boot room, a cosy library, and an office area. The conservatory will be refurbished with a contemporary roof light and a sleek zinc roof.
