Description

A substantial development site with full planning permission for 120 new homes, comprising 81 dwellings and four 3/4-storey apartment buildings containing 39 flats.

The site occupies a highly desirable position on the former Barwick Industrial Site. Dover Town Centre offers a range of local amenities including the St James' Retail and Leisure Park, supermarkets, high-street shops, cafés, restaurants, and leisure facilities.
Local schools include well-regarded options such as Dover Grammar School for Boys and Dover Grammar School for Girls together with a mix of other primary and secondary schools. Further education is available at the University of Kent and Canterbury Christ Church University easily accessible in nearby Canterbury.
Dover benefits from excellent transport connections. Dover Priory railway station provides regular services to London St Pancras International in just over an hour via high-speed trains, as well as direct links to Canterbury, Folkestone and other Kent towns. The town is well connected by road, with the A2 and A20 linking to the M2/M20 motorways for efficient travel across Kent and towards London. Frequent local bus networks serve the wider district, and Dover's international cross-Channel ferry port offers regular crossings to Calais and Dunkirk.
