The desirable village of Wye, with shops, a doctors surgery, 3 schools, and its train station, offering regular services to Ashford and Canterbury West, are located approximately 1 mile away.

Offered with no onward chain


Planning
Under reference 18/00760/AS, planning permission was originally granted in 2018 for the conversion and alteration of existing redundant rural building to provide one residential unit. Subsequently that permission was amended, under the reference number: PA/2022/2888, for alterations to the direction of the roof pitch and varying the roof and cladding materials.

Location
The building plot is located on Cold Harbour Lane, leading up to the top of the North Downs and the renowned vantage point of the Devil’s Kneading Trough. The village of Wye is set within an idyllic location, on the fringe of the North Downs. With its excellent amenities, schools, railway station and busy social scene, Wye is hugely popular with commuters due to its access to London being only 37 minutes on the High Speed Rail to St Pancras from Ashford International. It also has good road links to Ashford on the A20 and Canterbury via the A28. Ashford Town has further shopping and educational facilities including private and grammar schools, McArthur Glen Outlet and Waitrose. The City of Canterbury is approximately 12 miles and offers further extensive shopping facilities, schools including private and grammar, university and of course the historic Canterbury Cathedral. There are some fabulous walks across the North Downs and Wye Crown.
