The Old Fairground, Wingham, Canterbury, Kent, CT3

Reeds Rains Folkestone are delighted to bring to the market two parcels of adjoined amenity land on the Old Fairground in a private location to the west of North Court Close, Wingham, Canterbury, Kent, currently owned by a registered Pension Fund.

The land sits on the current village boundary, with the entrance gate facing a roadway consisting of a small row of existing housing. Former land plots within the historic Old Fairground have been developed over recent years. The UK Government’s relaxation of planning regulations, particularly on green / grey belt land may potentially offer a variety of opportunities to future owners subject to any planning applications being accepted by the local authority.

The two parcels of land combined are in the region of 5.5 acres and are being sold ‘together’ as one sale, and are not available separately. The land sits on the edge of Wingham, Canterbury. Each parcel of land has its own access to North Court Close, a quiet cul-de-sac location. It is important to note that the smaller land parcel of TT3981 does not prevent access of title TT24840, providing the opportunity to use or sell either parcel independently in the future. We are informed by our vendor that the two parcels of land are very private with no public access into the land.

It is largely made up of clay and silt at sub ground layers and lies in land indicated by planning and the Environment Agency as Flood Risk 2, medium probability of flooding and Flood Risk 3, although the current owners report no known history of flooding.

Local Area
