Description

This property presents a unique renovation and investment opportunity located on a sought-after road in the heart of Tankerton. Its proximity to the picturesque seafront, local shops, and amenities along Tankerton Road enhances its appeal, making it an attractive area for potential residents. Additionally, the property is conveniently positioned just a short walk from Whitstable station (0.8 miles), ensuring good transportation links for future tenants. Currently, the site features a substantial building that was previously used as a convent and is being sold with vacant possession. Notably, there has been a resolution to grant planning permission (application reference CA/21/02034) for a change of use and extension to create 10 residential flats, complete with dedicated parking and communal gardens. This application was approved by the Committee in June 2022 but remains pending due to an outstanding S.106 Legal Agreement that has yet to be finalized. Moreover, the rear of the property offers additional potential with a building plot suitable for a detached dwelling that would face Strangford Road. This plot has also been subject to an undetermined planning application (reference CA/22/01782), presenting further opportunities for development. Prospective buyers are encouraged to conduct their own investigations into planning possibilities with Canterbury City Council. Please refrain from accessing the site without prior arrangement.
