Plus vacant commercial unit
Key Features
A large freehold mixed use building located in a predominantly residential area but close to local amenities and with good access to the M2 Junction 3 as well as Bluebell Hill towards Maidstone and the M20.
The building is arranged as a parade of five shops with four maisonettes above, three of the shops and two of the maisonettes have been sold off on long leases. The remaining 2 maisonettes are currently let on Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreements, with their agreements including a garage each. One of the remaining shops is currently let and a large double fronted corner unit is to be offered with vacant possession.
The building occupies a good sized plot with car parking to the rear.
The property previously had outline Planning Permission for an additional three two-bedroom maisonettes to be developed above the vacant commercial unit (Select'N'Save) along with the development of one bungalow, however, we understand the proposed site for the bungalow has been sold off separately. This permission was granted in 1990 and any interested applicants must rely on their own investigations.
Planning
Outline Planning Permission was granted in May 1990 by Medway Borough Council under reference ME/90/0209 for the construction of three two-bedroom maisonettes and one bungalow, subject to conditions. This permission has now lapsed but a copy will be included as part of the legal pack.
