Ham Shades Lane, Whitstable, Kent, CT5

Ideally situated on one of Whitstable's most favoured roads, this substantial period property occupies a generous plot and is conveniently positioned for access to Whitstable's vibrant town centre, Tankerton slopes and seafront and Whitstable mainline station (0.7 miles).

The building is currently divided into two flats, and would now benefit from a programme of refurbishment throughout. There is potential to create an exceptional family home, and planning permission has been granted (subject to conditions) under reference CA/22/01541 for the building to be reinstated as a single dwelling with a floor area of circa 2959 sq ft (275 sq m) and associated garaging and off street parking.

The existing accommodation is arranged on the ground floor to provide an entrance porch, a garden room, kitchen, sitting room, three generous bedrooms, a bathroom, and a cloakroom. The first floor comprises a sitting room and dining area, a kitchen, two double bedrooms, a bathroom, and a cloakroom.

The generous South Easterly facing garden extends to 58ft (17.8m) and is predominantly laid to lawn. To the rear of the garden, accessed via Nursery Close, there are two single garages and an area of off street parking for two vehicles. No onward chain.
