Prime Residential Building Plot | Full Planning Permission Granted | Generous Rear Garden

A rare opportunity to acquire a prime freehold building plot situated on Island Road in the popular village of Hersden, near Canterbury.

The approved plans reveal a thoughtfully designed, spacious layout tailored for modern living. The ground floor layout comprises a welcoming entrance hallway, a generous separate living room, cloakroom and a standout open-plan kitchen and dining area designed to serve as the hub of the home with direct access to the private rear garden. Upstairs, the property features three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with a dedicated en-suite shower room, alongside a spacious family bathroom.
