Here is a rare chance to own land with river frontage onto the non-tidal River Medway. This is a stunningly beautiful area, fairly level, with grass, shrubs and various mature trees. The rear boundary varies between around 15 metres ( 50 feet) and over 50 metres (160 feet) away, so you buy a good sized area of land, where you can picnic, fish, bring items ashore, etc., etc. A country lane leads to the site and with care, you can drive right up to your land. However, it is impossible to obtain permission for a building.
Whereas the site appears to be right in the country, it is in fact, on the edge of Maidstone, the County Town of Kent, with excellent facilities and transport links.
The picturesque East Farleigh lock is upstream giving beautiful tranquil cruising to Tonbridge, passing medieval villages, bridges, pubs etc. Downstream, there is the Malta Inn and Allington lock, which can accommodate large vessels although there is a height restriction of 3.6 metres (11.8 feet). The lock leads on to the enormous and varied cruising area of the tidal Medway, Swale and their many creeks, the River Thames, the canal system (details available) and the open sea.
The land is being sold for an introductory price of £3,000 per 5 metres (16.4 feet) of river frontage. You can buy any multiple of this. The minimum purchase is 20 metres (65.6 feet) at £12,000 and for example, 25 metres frontage would be £15,000. There is no vat, but these prices will go up soon.
