Description
An exciting prospect!
Opportunity to acquire a plot with significant potential, offered to the market SOLD AS SEEN. Main house and double garaging were destroyed by an arson attack.
Occupying a semi rural, yet not isolated location on the outskirts of both Marden and Staplehurst villages within easy driving distance of the County Town of Maidstone collectively offering extensive and comprehensive shopping, schooling, and banking facilities along with accessible bus routes and mainline station facilities. The area affords many recreational activities and sites/places of historical interest.
The site benefits from evidence of both former residential and commercial use. The original residential dwelling and garaging were unfortunately destroyed following an arson attack; however, a sizeable commercial outbuilding remains in situ towards the front/entrance of the plot, offering purchasers a versatile opportunity.
The remaining outbuilding may lend itself to a range of uses storage solutions, or potential future development/re-configuration, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents being granted, and satisfied. The plot itself offers scope for those seeking a self-build opportunity, investment project, or mixed-use proposition in a convenient setting.
Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries regarding planning, services, and any intended use of the site.
