The building plot is the former site of Danefield House, a 19th century manor house that was destroyed by fire in the 1980s and left derelict until recently.

The plot comprises approximately 2.55 acres and is broadly rectangular. It is adjacent to Tilmanstone village and is predominantly previously developed land, with the site of the former manor house situated in the northwestern part of the plot.

Large parts of the rest of the site having been used for commercial purposes, including a number of buildings and hard-standing areas, up until the beginning of the 21st century. The remainder of the site comprises grassland.

The site is relatively flat, with the highest point located near the southwestern corner, and from there the land slopes gently downwards in both northerly and easterly directions. There is an existing access point from St Mary’s Grove which previously served Danefield House.

Planning: Prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries of Dover District Council.
