Description

DEVELOPMENT SITE with Planning Granted for Four Detached Dwellings. Located Within Close Proximity to Whitstable Town!

A prime development site located in the popular seaside town of Whitstable with planning permission granted (Canterbury Council - CA/24/01627) for the erection of four striking detached family homes.

Located off a private road and at the end of a discrete driveway the setting creates a wonderfully private site.

THE PROPERTY
Approached off Hillside Road, a private unmade road ,the site entrance is down an attractive driveway opening up to the wider site beyond the entrance.

Each house offers well designed family homes in a modern style ranging from 1,400sqft to 1,500sqft and a mixture of 3 and 4 bedroom homes, all with family bathrooms and ensuites. Plots vary in size but each house has its family garden and garage/parking.

Approved under ref 24/010627 for the 4 detached homes there may also be scope for additional plots beyond plots 1 & 4 where neighbours have indicated the desire to also dispose of surplus garden land.

PROPOSAL
Offers are invited for the site based on the current planning consent. And a full set of consented plans and reports are available on request.

LOCATION
The popular seaside town of Whitstable is situated on the stunning North Kent coast, 7 miles north of the historical city of Canterbury and less than 60 miles from central London. With its quaint alley ways, colourful high street and peaceful shingle beaches this town has a lot to offer both residents and holiday makers. For entertainment there are excellent water sport facilities, plenty of art galleries, and a wealth of independently run restaurants, boutiques and cafes to enjoy along the vibrant high street. The Crab and Winkle Way, one of the earliest passenger railways and the first ever steam-powered railway in the world, follows the disused railway line between Canterbury and Whitstable, and is now a popular walking and cycle route through woods and countryside. Road links via the A299 Thanet Way give easy access to the M2 for travel to London and beyond. Whitstable also has a main line train station providing fast and frequent links into London Victoria (1hr 30 mins) and London St Pancras (1hr 11mins).
