DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY – Guide Price £450,000 – £475,000

PLANNING GRANTED FOR FOUR 4-BEDROOM HOMES

A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a development site in the sought after area of Borstal, Rochester, with planning permission granted for four, 4 bedroom terraced homes.

Full details of the approved scheme can be found on the Medway Planning Portal under reference MC/25/1363, offering buyers and developers the chance to review the scope and design in full.

The proposed houses are well configured family homes, ideally suited to the strong local demand for quality housing in this area.

Situated just outside Rochester, Borstal is a popular residential location offering a balance between suburban living and excellent accessibility. Rochester itself is rich in history, with a vibrant high street, a range of cafes, restaurants, and independent shops, as well as the iconic Rochester Castle and Cathedral.

The area also benefits from high speed rail links into London, making it particularly appealing to commuters, alongside reputable schools and strong local amenities.

With demand for new homes continuing to outweigh supply, this site presents a fantastic opportunity to deliver a desirable scheme in a well connected and established residential location.

Sales values available on request.
