Chestfield House
Set within the Chestfield Conservation Area, Chestfield House occupies an expansive 6,133 sq m (0.61 ha) plot. Originally built in the 1920s, this two-storey mock-Tudor residence is a fine example of the Kentish revivalist vernacular and is recognised by the Council as a non-designated heritage asset.
Planning has now been granted for a sensitive and sustainable refurbishment and extension. By retaining the original front and side façades, the design preserves the architectural heart of the house while removing poorly performing extensions and ancillary buildings that lack heritage value. In their place, a carefully crafted, high-performance extension will be introduced to the rear elevation along with a new garage that will interconnect the guest cottage and pool house with the main house, increasing the gross internal area from 659 sq m to 912 sq m.
