Land For Sale £10,450,000
An historic country estate with income producing residential and commercial portfolio.
Description
Situation
Waldershare Park is located near Eythorne, a rural village in the East of Kent between Canterbury and Dover. The cathedral city of Canterbury lies 13.9 miles to the north west and offers many cultural interests, excellent shopping centre and a good selection of schools in the private and state sectors, universities and colleges. The Village of Eythorne has a range of local amenities including a church, village store, a public house and a primary school.
Summary and History
Forming a large part of the original Waldershare Park Estate, the property is an intriguing combination of houses, cottages and buildings in a mature parkland setting. There are currently three separate driveways and it may be possible to create further access points subject to obtaining the necessary consents.
The mixture of let property types currently generate a significant rental income with an overall potential in the region of £250,000 per annum. There is also potential to further enhance revenue from future alternative uses of buildings and land, subject to the necessary consents.
Waldershare Park was laid out in 1702-1710 by Sir Robert Furnese with many of the trees planted remaining in maturity today. Sir Robert’s daughter, Catherine, married the 1st Earl of Guilford in 1751 and the park has remained in the Guilford family ever since, presently being occupied by the 10th Earl.
