We have a growing number of commercial properties across the Estate, providing space for small businesses and entrepreneurs to grow, and larger businesses to thrive.
Our tenants range from a large car dealership, at the commercial site at Brook Farm, on the outskirts of Tonbridge to local businesses and entrepreneurs based in a number of our converted farm buildings around the Estate.
Due to changes in farming practices, which have modernised and consolidated over the past 50 years, the use of farmsteads and their surrounding land has evolved.
Careful diversification and re-use of agricultural buildings for new rural business and job creation plays an important part in contributing to the success of the Estate as a whole. An example of our investment in diversification is at Bank Farm Livery Stables, Sherenden Lane, Tudeley.
In the longer term, we aim find sustainable, long term uses for redundant farm buildings to provide a range of business spaces, including offices and workshops to meet local demand and contribute to the rural economy.
