Unique Redevelopment Opportunity – Former Telephone Exchange & Adjoining Land
An exciting and increasingly rare opportunity to acquire the former telephone exchange at Queens Road, Lydd, together with the adjoining land.
The property has enjoyed a variety of uses over the years, most recently operating as a workshop, and now offers an excellent opportunity for developers, builders or investors looking for a project with genuine potential.
The site has attracted favourable pre-application advice from Folkestone & Hythe District Council (Ref: 23/1202/PREAPP), which confirms that residential development is considered acceptable in principle. The advice relates to the demolition of the existing workshop and garages and the construction of two detached dwellings, with an indicative scheme comprising one two-bedroom and one three-bedroom home.
There may also be scope to explore alternative development options, including the conversion or redevelopment of the existing telephone exchange building, potentially creating an individual or characterful residential property, subject to the necessary planning consents. Given Lydd's proximity to the unique coastal landscape of Dungeness and the wider Romney Marsh area, alternative accommodation or holiday-let uses may also be worth exploring.
The site therefore offers an interesting opportunity to consider a variety of possibilities, whether through a comprehensive redevelopment, retaining and repurposing the existing building, or exploring a different scheme altogether.
Planning Position: The site does not currently benefit from planning permission. The Council's pre-application response is officer-level guidance only and does not constitute consent. Any proposed development, conversion or change of use would be subject to the submission and approval of the necessary planning applications.
Price Guide: £200,000
The vendor is inviting interest on a subject-to-planning basis, offering purchasers the opportunity to explore the site's development potential.
Further information, including the Council's pre-application response, is available upon request.
