Set on the edge of Romney Marsh alongside the Royal Military Canal, this freehold parcel extends to approximately 7.01 acres of pastureland in a quiet, established farming area. The site offers wide open views, a rural setting and direct access from Marsh Road via a trackway — appealing to buyers seeking amenity land, agricultural use or long-term development potential.
The land includes the remains of a former shepherd’s cottage (pebble-dash timber-frame bungalow last occupied c.1975). The structure is derelict and overgrown; it will require full demolition or a complete rebuild and buyers should take the ruinous state into account when considering reuse. There are no mains services connected to the plot, though mains electricity is available close to the boundary.
Practical points: the property is sold by informal tender (closing 12pm Friday 27 June 2025) and is subject to a small annual drainage payment to the Romney Marshes Area Internal Drainage Board. There are no public rights of way across the land itself, but a public footpath runs along the trackway between the land and the canal. Viewings are by appointment and purchasers must satisfy themselves on boundaries and titles.
This parcel suits purchasers looking for a large, secluded rural holding for grazing, conservation, hobby farming, or as a long-term project with potential for redevelopment (subject to planning). The guide price band is £70,000–£80,000; interested parties should note the tender process and inspect the land and title documents closely before bidding.
