A rare rural gem in a great location on a quiet lane and yet within a few minutes of the A2 - James Hickman, Rural Property & Land
#TheGardenOfEngland
The Informal Tender has now CLOSED.
A country property situated in a highly favoured rural area comprising a 1930’s detached timber framed bungalow originally built by the sellers grandfather. The property includes a former timber yard which specialised in making chestnut paling fencing, further outbuildings and land. The whole property has been in the same family ownership for about 65 to 70 years and offers a fantastic opportunity for redevelopment, subject to planning.
About 4.25 acres.
Tender Guide Price £600,000 to £650,000
(The tender form is attached to the rear of the sales brochure).
Method of Sale/Tender Form
The property is offered for sale by Informal Tender closing at 12 noon on Friday 26th August 2022, subject to the terms and tender conditions set out on the tender form provided.
Your offer or offers must represent your “best and final offer” because there will NOT be another opportunity to make another offer. Only offers submitted on a fully completed tender form and accompanied by ALL the information requested will be considered.
Situation
The property is located on a quiet country lane only a short distance off the Elham Valley Road between the pretty Kent villages of Barham and Kingston within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The area is known for being an excellent place for country walks, cycling & hacking. The Black Robin Pub is only 0.8 mile along Covet Lane.
The A2 is an easy drive and gives access to the east to Dover and the Port whilst to the west there is Canterbury and the M2 to London and beyond. The M20 is to the south giving access to the Channel Tunnel Terminal, Ashford and beyond. There are HS1 high speed trains at Canterbury West, Faversham, Folkestone and Ashford. There are primary schools in local villages and secondary schools in Canterbury & Dover.
The Bungalow
The bungalow is of timber frame construction and is now considered suitable either for renovation & extension or complete replacement with a new build property, subject to planning.
*Special Note - We have been informed that some of the internal walls are lined with asbestos.
Gardens
There are spacious gardens surrounding the bungalow which are mainly laid to lawn with borders, shrubs, and trees. Within the garden are 2 good sheds.
Outbuildings
There are 2 separate sets of outbuildings, the first group on the level land served by the large hard yard area off the entrance drive and comprise old buildings which were used for running the former fencing business. These could have potential for redevelopment for alternative uses, subject to planning, and are subject to the charge for Non Domestic /Business Rates.
The 2nd group are located on the edge of the garden and include the remains of an old barn and a small workshop/store.
Land
The land comprises a single grass paddock for grazing horses, ponies, livestock or for hay making. A crop of hay has been made this year.
