Advert Description
IDYLLIC RIVERSIDE MOORING PLOT FREEHOLD WATERSIDE LAND AND BERTH AT MAIDSTONE, KENT. Rare opportunity to buy land with river frontage onto the non-tidal River Medway. This is a stunningly beautiful plot, with grass, and mature trees. The land has Full Registered Title as 14 metres (46ft.) but measures between fences as 16 metres (52ft.) A country lane leads to the site and you can drive right up and on to your land. Electricity and water services are nearby and a simple well will give you water that is used for drinking by the locals. 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, railway stations (one mile) and buses at the end of the lane. 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 UK canal system (details available) and the open sea. There are full fishing rights. There is no vat, but this is virtually the last plot available here, and in many ways, the best one.
