Description

Prime Residential Development Opportunity 

An exciting opportunity to acquire a centrally located redevelopment site in the heart of St Michaels village, just moments from Tenterden, with a well-considered residential scheme and strong local demand for housing.

The Opportunity


The site comprises the former Costcutter store and associated land, now vacant and in a dilapidated condition, offering immediate potential for redevelopment. Extending to approximately 0.065 hectares (651 sq. m), the property occupies a prominent position along the A28 (Ashford Road) with additional frontage to Swain Road.

The site has been carefully assessed and designed to maximise its potential, with a proposed scheme for:


A three-storey residential building


4 self-contained flats (1 and 2 bedroom)


Private and communal garden space


Off-road parking


Landscaping and biodiversity enhancements

Planning & Scheme


The current proposal follows extensive planning history and pre-application discussions, with the latest scheme designed to address previous refusals and align with local planning guidance. 

Key highlights:


Scheme for 4 flats within a single traditional-style building


Designed to complement the adjacent Conservation Area


Improved layout, density and amenity provision


Positive pre-application feedback noting the scheme would enhance the character and appearance of the site.


Full planning documentation and history are available.

Location


Situated in the centre of St Michaels, the site benefits from exceptional accessibility to a wide range of amenities:


Walking distance to local shops, Post Office, pubs and takeaways


Close to primary and secondary schools


Excellent bus routes linking Tenterden, Ashford and Maidstone


Easy access to countryside and recreation, including nearby green spaces


The property sits within a sustainable and well-connected village environment, making it highly attractive for both owner-occupiers and investors.

Hello and a warm welcome to Clarendons...

Like most people, you're probably thinking that all estate agents are pretty much the same, but at Clarendons, we like to do things a little differently - because moving home is about people, more than property.

Independent.

As an independent agency, we can focus more on our customers and have the freedom to tailor our services to fit our vendors and landlords' needs. A corporate bottom line isn't our driving force, customer satisfaction is, and that's why our team has won customer service awards for consecutive years.

Local.

We're also local, and every team member either grew-up in the area or has lived and worked locally for many years, and know their areas intimately.

You certainly can't beat local knowledge and experience when it comes to getting the sales and lettings results our clients want and deserve. It also means we're on hand when we're needed the most, which is hugely important when it comes to taking care of our vendors, landlords' and their properties, and providing the service they rightly deserve - even outside of normal office hours!

No restrictive contracts.

We also believe fees should be fair, transparent and earned solely on our performance. That's why our clients only pay when we have successfully sold or let their property, bucking the current trend for upfront fixed fee payments, and unlike our competitors, we NEVER charge clients penalty fees if they sell or let through another agent (not that they need one when they're with Clarendons!).
