Description The Property comprises an agricultural metal-clad storage barn sitting roughly in the centre of a broadly rectangular plot (about 0.28 acres), with an area of hardstanding to the north and a grassed area to the south. The barn has an overhanging canopy to the front and small rear extension housing plant. An ancillary shed lies to the north-eastern corner of the site. Countryside views exist to the east and north, whilst a red brick boundary wall and further farm buildings lie to the south. A number of residential properties lie to the west and south. The plot is generally level and has an existing vehicular access off Land Way (leading to Lower Rochester Road).
Location The Property lies to the north east of Higham, a village on the Hoo Peninsula in Kent. The village itself is about 1 mile distant, providing local amenities including a Post Office, library, medical practice, and convenience stores. Higham railway station is located approximately 340 m to the north west of the Property. Higham Primary school lies half a mile to the west.
The proposed architectural style and finish will create a modern property that has been sensitively designed, making use of the existing building and its curtilage. There is one planning condition, namely that no development shall commence until a contamination assessment is submitted to and approved by the LPA (and development carried out in accordance with any remediation measures set out therein).
Local Authority Gravesham Borough Council 01474 337000.
Services The Property is understood to have previously benefitted from electricity and water services which we believe can be reconnected without onerous efforts. Prospective purchasers should, however, satisfy themselves through their own due diligence enquiries.
