Someone with good imagination could make the best of this historic home and adjoining development opportunity.

The bustling town of New Romney, considered the capital of the Romney Marsh, is just a short drive from Ashford.

Together with a stack of independent shops, New Romney has a Sainsbury’s supermarket and the world famous Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway is nearby.

The sweeping beach at Littlestone-on-sea is just over a mile away and dramatic Dymchurch beach is about three miles away.

Now for sale is this Grade II listed building, currently laid out as an antiques shop at the front and a characterful three bedroom home.

Packed with history and charm, the house has a lovely kitchen/breakfast room and a drawing room, together with a sitting room and a study. There is a family bathroom and a walled garden.

The property comes complete with an adjoining parcel of land and outbuildings.

Sarah Holgate of Hobbs Parker believes this presents an interesting development opportunity.

She says: “The land adjacent to the house has planning permission and this was then extended. A motel has been demolished and the new brick boundary wall has been completed and it is therefore considered that the planning permission for the erection of six two-storey dwellings is current.

“The two-bedroom houses proposed are the type of properties that are in high demand in this part of the town.”

The sale also includes a pretty single-storey brick bakehouse and some storage buildings.
