Admiralty Mews, The Strand, Walmer

An incredible opportunity to create the home (or two) of your dreams. Located in the highly exclusive Admiralty Mews, East Barracks in Walmer, we understand multiple planning permissions have been granted allowing a plethora of renovations to be made, most notably the creation of two separate dwellings.

To approach this unique Mews style house, you will need to take the Private Road entrance from The Strand. Exclusive to this property, are four parking spaces directly to the front. A benefit few others in the locale can boast. 

If you have been searching for a project on a large scale that will reap incredible results, this property should be top of your viewing list. Under the same ownership since the Ministry of Defence sold the building, this truly is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Internally, the property has undergone a 'first fix' stage, with appropriate architect approved beams installed inside the old music hall to create a mezzanine or first floor for additional residential rooms. In the adjacent building, bedrooms and ensuites have been framed and can remain, or be re-imagined to your preference. The ground floor also houses a number of reception rooms, the kitchen (which was the old Paymasters office) and access to the larger of the two cellars. A conservatory / orangery is currently under construction and we believe that planning permission has been granted for a similar structure to be erected at the opposite end of the house, which in turn would establish an attractive symmetry to the rear aspect.

The entrances to each cellar are located at opposite ends of the building. The larger of the two is comfortably standing height, with an established internal staircase leading from the main building. This space deserves to be more than for storage. A wine store, gym, office or study could eventually grace this building, with the necessary permissions in place. The second cellar is located underneath the stage area of the Music Hall, and benefits from a currently blocked up exit that leads to a courtyard, away from the main garden.

The rear garden is comparably large for this style of building, in this location. Walled on two sides, with the third offering pedestrian access to an open green space, the garden wraps around the property to the north side, and broadens towards the south side. This area enjoys the sun from midday into the evening.
