A rare seafront plot offering direct, uninterrupted views across Herne Bay promenade and the open sea. The site is freehold, occupies about 0.0573 acre (231.73 sqm) and benefits from previously granted planning for several schemes, including a high‑end 7‑bedroom detached residence; drainage works have been carried out and building control have attended to confirm, preventing the planning expiry.
This parcel is best suited to an investor or developer seeking a compact but prominent coastal infill with immediate amenity value. The plot’s prominence on East Cliff Parade, short walk to the High Street and direct beach access give strong rental or boutique holiday‑let potential. Excellent mobile signal and reasonable rail links to London and regional stations add practical appeal.
Buyers should note material constraints: the plot is small and tightly constrained between existing cottages and the promenade, limiting large‑scale footprints without fresh consent. Coastal exposure means marine conditions, coastal protection rules and higher maintenance costs for any new build. The surrounding area records higher crime levels and significant deprivation metrics, factors that may affect long‑term rental profile or resale values.
Overall, this is a specialist opportunity: strong sea‑view amenity and proven planning activity make the site attractive for a carefully targeted development or bespoke retreat, but proceed with due diligence on coastal planning, site surveys and local socio‑economic factors.
