Features and description

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Stone building
  • Commercial use
  • Close to High Street
  • Generous plot
  • Vehicular access
  • Potential for residential conversion ( STPP )
A stone building currently with commercial use but with exciting residential potential, situated in a tucked away location ideally in the heart of Gillingham.

The Chantry offers an exciting opportunity for both commercial and potentially residential uses. Constructed of local stone under a predominantly tiled roof the building provides over 900 Sq Ft of space currently divided into two main rooms plus a cupboard and two cloakrooms. The largest rooms features an entrance vestibule, a kitchen/reception area with sink and worktop and extends to nearly 50ft providing access to the rear outside space . A later addition to the side provides a further reception room, again with access to the outside space.
The building sits on a large plot of approximately 0.12 acres and enjoys vehicular access and a delightful river frontage. Formerly a playground for a childrens’ nursery, the outside space has the potential to create parking and / or a delightfully landscaped garden. The property is located a stones’ throw from the High Street but in a tucked away location.

The business use class is designated ‘E’ Commercial, Business and Service. A Buyer would have to conduct their own investigations as to a potential change of use for any other commercial or residential use.

The current rateable value ( 1st April to present ) is £15,500.
