About
A rare opportunity to purchase a building plot with planning permission granted for a pair of four bedroom semi-detached family homes.
The existing building on site is to be demolished by the current owner, leaving the site ready for development.
Full planning details can be seen on the Canterbury City Council website under planning reference no. Ca/25/00831/ful.
Rough Common is exceptionally well positioned for access to some of the area’s most sought after amenities.
The highly regarded Blean Primary School is just a quarter of a mile away, making the finished properties particularly attractive to families, while both St Edmund’s School and Kent College are within easy reach.
Canterbury’s renowned grammar schools are also readily accessible, together with the University of Kent.
The surrounding area is ideal for those who enjoy the outdoors, with the ancient rspb Blean Woods nearby offering extensive walking and cycling routes through some of Kent’s most beautiful woodland.
Excellent transport connections further enhance the property’s appeal.
Regular bus services provide convenient access to both Canterbury and the coastal town of Whitstable, while Canterbury West station is approximately a five minute drive away, offering high speed rail services to London St Pancras in as little as 56 minutes, making this an ideal location for commuters seeking a unique country home within easy reach of the capital.
