East Cliff Parade, Herne Bay, Kent, CT6

Land size
0.06 acres

Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a prominent corner development plot occupying a stunning position with immediate sea views at Herne Bay and conveniently located for the town centre. The plot measures 0.0573 acre (231.73 sqm). Planning has previously been granted for 3 residential dwellings and the current permission is for a luxury 7 bedroom detached residence/retreat. An alternative scheme could be sought subject to planning based on the footprint of the approved plans. We are informed that the drainage works have been carried out on site and that the building control office have attended the site to confirm the same thus voiding the application expiry date. The planning portal references at Canterbury City Council are CA//19/00379 and CA//15/01603.

The plot enjoys panoramic sea views from the picturesque seafront and is within a short walk of the High Street and the coastal paths to Reculver and Hampton. The popular resort of Whitstable is also within a short drive. Herne Bay station is 1 mile away and provides services to Ramsgate (25 mins), London Victoria ( 1 hour 30 mins), Ashford International (1 hour 30 mins) and St Pancreas International (1 hour 25 mins).
