Description

The Malvern Inn is situated in the Kent port town of Dover. The town acts as a vital gateway to Europe and has been developing and expanding in recent years to accommodate new works coming to the area. In recent years, the town centre has been transformed to accommodate a number of national retailers moving to the area including Marks & Spencer, Cineworld, Next and Travel Lodge.

Dover sits at the southern end of the M20 which provides fast road access to Ashford, Maidstone and London. Mainline rail services are available from nearby Dover Priory with services into Ashford International (with HS1 services into St Pancras International), London Bridge and London Charing Cross.

The Malvern Inn sits within a residential area to the west of the town centre. It benefits from being a stone's throw from a number of walking and tourist attractions such as The Gun Emplacement, WWII bunkers and viewpoints across the English Channel.

The Malvern Inn is a three-storey, end-of-terrace public house of brick construction. The property comprises:

GROUND FLOOR:

A full Premises Licence is held.

All mains services are connected.
Local Authority: Dover District Council
Rateable value as at 01 April 2023 to present: £6,500

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.

Rivers and the sea

Very low risk

Planning map: Flood Zone 1.

Surface water

Medium to low risk (1 in 100 to 1 in 1000)

Not at the pin: mapped about 10 metres away.
