SUBSTANTIAL FORMER WORKSHOP & YARD PREMISES WITH PLANNING PERMISSION FOR REFURBISHMENT & REDEVELOPMENT

A great opportunity has arisen to acquire this substantial former workshop and yard premises located close to the sea front at Margate. The premises which have a ground floor footprint of approximately 197 m2 (2,120sqft) have more recently been used for storage and now benefit from planning consent for conversion and re-build to form a four bedroom dwelling over two floors of approximately 300m2 (3250sqft) with studio, internal courtyard and first floor roof terrace. The property could however be utilised for various alternative commercial or residential schemes, subject to obtaining any necessary planning consent.

The property is accessed via 'The Passage' a small lane leading from Zion Place which also provides access to a number of residential properties. The property features double wooden entrance gates into a covered entrance which leads into a central courtyard area. The former workshops, stores and offices are currently arranged over ground and part first floor levels and surround the courtyard. The property is predominantly brick built with some feature flagstone flooring and has had a temporary protective roof structure installed.
