Description

An excellent opportunity to acquire a prime self build plot with full planning permission for a substantial four bedroom detached home, set within a desirable semi rural position on the edge of the popular village of St Nicholas at Wade.

Positioned opposite open farmland, the site enjoys a peaceful outlook while remaining conveniently located for everyday amenities. The village itself offers a post office, primary school and two well regarded public houses, creating a strong sense of community.

For commuters, Thanet Parkway Station is approximately 6 miles away, providing high speed services to London St Pancras, while the historic city of Canterbury and the coastal town of Ramsgate are both within easy reach, offering an excellent range of shopping, leisure and educational facilities.

The plot currently comprises a garden and parking area, extending to approximately 0.12 acres, with open farmland to both the front and rear, enhancing its rural appeal.

Full planning permission (Ref: F/TH/24/1041) has been granted by Thanet District Council for the construction of a well designed detached family home. The proposed accommodation includes a spacious kitchen/dining room, garden room, separate living room, utility room, cloakroom and integral garage. To the first floor, the layout provides a principal bedroom with en suite, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom, offering well balanced and versatile living space ideal for modern family life.

This is a rare chance to create a bespoke home in a sought after village setting, combining countryside views with excellent connectivity.

Further information, including approved plans, decision notice and supporting documentation, is available upon request from the selling agents.
