This 0.39-acre freehold parcel at Bursted Cottage, Lynsore Bottom, offers a rare rural redevelopment opportunity within the Kent Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The site contains partial brick and flint remains that could form the basis of a new dwelling, subject to planning approvals from Canterbury City Council. The setting is private and scenic, accessed directly off Pett Bottom Road with a gated entrance and excellent mobile signal.
Important practical points: no planning permission is included and the land will not be sold conditioned on planning being granted. Services are not connected and purchasers must carry out their own investigations. The site is sold as seen; the rear boundary may not be obvious on inspection and viewings are at the visitor’s own risk (no children or pets permitted).
This plot suits a developer or experienced self-builder who understands rural planning constraints—AONB designation can restrict design and footprint, so early pre-application advice from Canterbury City Council is strongly recommended. The plot’s size and existing brick/flint fabric give scope for a sensitively designed, characterful home that takes advantage of the countryside location.
Drawbacks to factor into acquisition cost: planning uncertainty, likely costs to connect utilities, overgrown/derelict condition requiring clearance, and very slow broadband. If you require fast fixed internet, investigate alternatives before purchase. Priced at £120,000, the site is competitively positioned for those prepared to manage the planning and build processes.
