The site of a demolished manor house is up for sale with planning permission for 34 swanky flats.

Foreland Manor once stood within the pricey North Foreland estate in Broadstairs.

The large family home was demolished in 2019 despite pushback from neighbours who wanted to preserve it.

Now, after remaining empty ever since, the plot could host 34 modern homes, set to be covered in greenery and foliage.

The area was previously owned by Sunningdale Homes, which received permission for the flats from Thanet District Council.

However, the firm has since gone into administration, and the site is now up for sale.

Estate agent Sanderson Weatherall will not reveal the price of the sought-after land but says: “The property is a sloping site with elevated levels on the western boundary with views towards the sea.

“The site extends to around 1.74 acres.

“It benefits from full planning permission for a high-quality bespoke scheme of 34 apartments ready for immediate commencement.

“The site was previously occupied by Foreland Manor; a substantial detached residential dwelling which has been demolished.

“Therefore, the property is now a cleared site with a covering of vegetation and gravel and hard standing in the area of the former dwelling.”

The green light was given for two separate schemes in the past, for 14 homes and 9 homes, but these never came to fruition.

Sanderson Weatherall adds: “The site is immediately adjacent to the private Foreland Estate, in a sought-after and desirable area of the town.

“It is within close proximity to the North Foreland Lighthouse, North Foreland Golf Course and a number of Blue Flag beaches which are often ranked in the Top 10 of the UK.

“Broadstairs is a well-regarded coastal town situated between Margate to the northwest and Ramsgate to the south and lies approximately 80 miles southeast of London with the Cathedral City of Canterbury around 20 miles to the west.”

Foreland Manor was designed in the 1920s by architect Edgar Radgar.

He was celebrated in his profession with a lifetime honour from the Royal Institute of British Architects.
