Location
Approximately 40 acres of investment land for sale set in a beautiful rural location in the heart of the Kent countryside. The land is available as a whole or separated into 11 good sized lots that have superb potential for paddock conversion. The site incorporates mature woodland, adding charm and character to the land.
The site benefits from picturesque views and extensive road frontage with two excellent access points off Longage Hill.
The land lies on the edge of the idyllic village of Lyminge in the south-east of Kent, just 5 miles from Folkestone and the Channel Tunnel. Lyminge provides key services including shops, schools and a pub.The larger towns of Folkestone and Ashford are easily accessible within short travelling distances for local commuters.
The price of land and property has risen strongly in the area partly due to a growing infrastructure offering high speed transport links to London and Europe. This makes the area a desirable place to live and combined with rising house prices has led to a lack of affordable housing. Consequently house prices are 240% higher than the national average.
Housing
House prices in the area have increased by 178% in the last year alone. The average house price is £522,500 which is 240% higher than the England and Wales average. These figures show a massive percentage increase despite the current property market situation.
The price of land and property has risen strongly in the area due to the development of the high speed rail and road links between Kent and London making it an ideal location for those commuting into the Capital. Kent is known as the 'Garden of England' due to its beautiful forest, hills, farmland and the Downs adding to its desirability.
Folkestone could potentially occupy a key strategic position in terms of a gateway to Europe due to the M20 motorway and the Channel Tunnel Rail Link. There are plans to open a high speed domestic service from Folkestone to London opening the town as a commuter centre in 2009.
