The new year might have settled in comfortably by now but, as ever, our auction properties are always fresh and new.
Our online auctions promise a whole host of iconic and eclectic properties — this month with a historic twist! Keep your eyes peeled for a Victorian school master’s house and the fascinating remains of a Napoleonic fort among our lots.
Browse the properties below for a sneak peek into some of the exciting lots we have on offer. Or, if you’re new to buying properties at auction, read our handy guide before you start.
A charming public house in Canterbury
Located on the Northeast side of Canterbury’s charming city is The Mill, a former public house with buckets of charm.
Nestled in among the tourist attractions, colleges, and shops, this property is central and well-connected but still has a homely feel. With a cellar, garden, first floor, spacious living area, and three bedrooms, this lot could be suitable for a variety of uses. However, planning permission would need to be obtained from Canterbury City Council.
The open-plan living style and large rooms contribute an open, airy feel, while the surrounding idyllic properties make the whole area feel homely and quaint. With a guide price of £330,000 Plus, this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss.
So, keep an eye out for Lot 7 at the auction or call Kevin Gilbert on ??01622 608400.
An entire Cyclopark for thrill-seekers
Perhaps one of our most unusual lots to date, Lot 33 consists of 38 acres of recreational land and sporting facilities on a 50-year lease to Kent County Council.
Located just North of the A2 (with access off The Tollgate), the Cyclopark consists of a bike track, a skate park, a 2.9Km tarmac course for road bikes, a 330m BMX off-road race track and a 6km mountain bike track.
Have you taken that all in?
If you’re an outdoor sports fanatic or a cycling enthusiast, this lot is practically calling your name. As it stands, this lot has a current rental rate of £30,600 per year and is being offered with a guide price of £480,000 Plus.
Head over to the Cyclopark website to explore more, or call Kevin Gilbert on 01622 608400 for more information.
A hidden holy gem
Next, we’re heading out of Kent and down to the centre of Cornwall to visit an iconic pair of ecclesiastic buildings. Situated in the rural hamlet of Trewennack, just a stone's throw from market town Helson is Lot 66: an authentic Cornish chapel and Sunday school building.
Exuding character and charm, the chapel contains a large hall for worship with tiered pew seating as well as choir stalls and even a pulpit. The Sunday school building also offers large, spacious accommodation with charm.
Used either for recreational purposes or for residential conversion in the future (subject to all necessary consents being obtained), this chapel certainly is promising. What’s more, the enclosed area to the front is perfect for off-road parking should the future owners decide to live there.
If this hidden holy gem interests you, keep an eye out for Lot 66 at our upcoming auction or ring Dave Henwood on 01392 366555 for more information about this auction property in Cornwall.
A historic freehold & Napoleonic fort from 1789
Calling all history buffs! If you’re looking to reconnect with the past, Lot 77 gives you the perfect opportunity to do so. This fascinating piece of land — 25.86 acres to be precise — is a freeholding that contains the remains of a Napoleonic Fort that was built in 1789!
Yes, you heard us correctly.
Sandwiched between Battery Road, Kerton Road, and the Romney, Hythe, and Dymchurch railway line, this unsuspecting piece of land will let owners travel back in time. The battery fort itself was a self-contained triangular fort built as part of a Redoubt system built on the Dungeness coast. Modified in 1860 and re-occupied in WWII, what remains of this structure truly is a piece of national history.
The land is available with a guide price of just £55,000- £58,000.! To see this spot for yourself, it can be located using the What 3 Words website using ///human.wagers.polygraph or, for more information, give Kevin Gilbert a call on 01622 608400.
A Victorian school master’s lodge from 1839
Finally, travelling slightly forward in time, we have a Victorian school master’s house dating from 1839. Lot 95 presents buyers with a three-bedroom school master’s house and accompanying library with a guide price of £380,000 - £400,000.
Located in the charming village of Bearsted — opposite The Green and The White Horse public house — this property is expansive and charming. It has grounds not only at the front but at the side and rear too, making it perfect for a variety of uses (subject to all necessary consents being obtainable).
If you’re interested in this ‘prim and proper’ Victorian-period property, keep your eyes peeled for Lot 95 this February; or, for more information, call Kevin Gilbert on 01622 608400.
