Description

The Appleyard, along with its surrounding car park and amenity space, occupies an area of approximately 0.82 acres (0.33 hectares). The site comprises a detached building of circa 13,300 sq ft, currently used as a social club, alongside a parking area and a small, detached garage located in the south-eastern corner. The property forms part of a wider land title (TT11637).

The site is relatively unconstrained and benefits from a central, accessible location just behind Sittingbourne High Street. It falls within an area of high townscape value, where development proposals are expected to enhance the historic and architectural character of the area. This includes preserving spacing between buildings and existing landscaping. The Avenue of Remembrance, a tree-lined street bordering the site, offers a distinct and attractive setting compared to the more commercial town centre environment.

The landowners are seeking an unconditional purchase for the site and will invite all expressions of interest. All bids and potential uses are invited on an unconditional basis.
