Description

LAND WITH PLANNING - An exciting opportunity to develop this charming historical farmstead into a standout heritage development of 11, mainly detached, homes over 3 acres of land.

Extending to just over 3 acres, of walled and well screened land, at the centre is a wonderful listed (Grade II) farmhouse, several heritage barns with permission to convert into 3 single dwellings and 7 further New Build plots within the site.

THE PROPERTY
Previously a working farmstead dating back to the 1770’s the site is occupied by a Grade II listed farmhouse, numerous heritage barns (Cow Shed & Granary), a number of modern agricultural/storage barns and various smaller outbuildings. The site is bound by high walls, established screened hedges and trees creating a tranquil setting.

PROPOSAL
Planning has been approved to construct 7 detached family homes on the area of the modern yard, each with excellent plots and convert the Cow shed and Granary into 3 stunning single dwellings. Whilst retaining the listed farmhouse and its garden/grounds.

Planning for the 7 detached homes was approved by Thanet District Council under ref F/TH/21/1864 with many of the pre-commencement conditions discharged and a confirmed commencement. Planning for the conversion of the barns was
approved under ref F/TH/26/0004

Whilst planning has been approved for the current scheme there may be scope to further enhance the scheme or retain the farmhouse and barns as a single farmstead home with offices, dependants homes or workshops.

The clients preference is to agree a sale to a single purchaser but will consider staged completion terms. At this stage only unconditional offers will be considered; subject to normal pre-exchange conditions however the majority of the pre-commencement conditions have already been discharged.

Further details can be provided on request.

LOCATION
The property is located on Shottendane Road on the edge of Margate, an attractive road, which leads from Margate out towards Birchington and Canterbury, providing easy access to the coastal areas and surrounding facilities.

ACCESS
