A substantial vacant Victorian semi-detached building on London Road, offered as a large redevelopment plot close to Canterbury city centre. The property extends to approximately 4,080 sq ft with generous rooms, high ceilings and period detailing—features that suit conversion to multiple residential units or a single grand home. A single garage, driveway parking (up to six cars) and an enclosed rear garden add usable external space rare so close to the city walls.
Previous planning permission for residential redevelopment was granted but expired in 2023; any future scheme will require fresh permission from Canterbury City Council. The site is in a mixed-use neighbourhood of students and professionals, with the adjoining property already converted into studio flats—demonstrating local demand for rental units. The property is vacant now, which simplifies access for surveyors and initial works but means buyers must allow time and budget for conversion and compliance works.
Practical considerations: tenure is recorded as unknown and the building has been used as offices with basement storage, so buyers should assume conversion costs (services, partitions, thermal upgrades, and possible asbestos or remediation checks). Flood risk is low and transport links are strong, including fast rail services to London. This plot will appeal to developers or investors targeting central Canterbury rental or multi-unit resale schemes, as well as owner-occupiers seeking a large period home subject to refurbishment and planning approval.
