Idyllic Site in CT3

On a glorious sunny day can there be a better way to spend an afternoon than with Joint Auctioneer Nick Rooke from Finn’s in Canterbury as we strolled, walked and talked to our mutual client about auctioning their truly lovely property?



The sun was out and beating down in what was an almost cloudless day, the birds were tweeting, a crane took off while other water fowl were flying in and out, and as we walked round the lake we watched and heard the frogs plop into the water.  The lake even had a little boat tied up and moored on the bank – is this not an idyllic setting? Do I have the best job or do I have the best job?! -  I only wish I had bought my binoculars & fishing rods!



So, having hopefully wet (oops sorry ‘Whet’) your appetite, where is the lot, what is it, when is it for sale and how much?

WHERE - The site is located off Grove Road via a three metre wide access track (with and without vehicles at all times and for all purposes in connection with the enjoyment of the land) in a little hamlet called Grove, to the north east of Canterbury. I must have driven along this road many times I never knew the site existed.

WHAT - Lot 14 comprises approx. 12 acres including a fishing lake/duck flight pond, bird watching hide over looking the lake, grassland, site office plus riparian rights to the adjacent River Stour. There may be the opportunity to increase the number of bird watching hides or perhaps create holiday type lodges in the grassland area, subject to all the necessary consents being obtainable.



WHEN – It goes under the hammer in our 16 June online auction offered freehold with vacant possession upon completion

HOW MUCH? – it is being offered with a pre-auction guide price of £125-135,000.

If you would like to stroll around this idyllic lot – why not book in for a viewing. Bidding opens for the online auction on Tuesday 14 June and concludes 16 June - happy bidding.

Should I Renovate My Home Before Selling

Property sellers often assume that they are obliged to invest significant amounts in renovating a home before it is suitable for sale – but this isn’t always necessarily the best course of action.

Does a property sell for less at auction

The reality is that a property, site or plot that is ideally suited to an auction sale will often attract an excellent price (often greater than the perceived market value).


Do I Need a Solicitor to auction my property

Yes, you’ll certainly need to hire a solicitor or licensed conveyancer and you’ll need to instruct one as soon as you submit a property for auction. Find out more here.
