Experts say it is "in a superb location with countryside close at hand". It has been used as a place of worship – a Gospel church - for many years and is being sold on the instructions of the trustees.

Auctioneer Joh Stockey said: “There might be the possibility of developing the site as long as all necessary consents are obtainable.

“It is well situated close to countryside and we anticipate a great deal of interest from builders and developers.”

The freehold guide price is £200-210,000.

North Kent features heavily in the up-coming land and property auction as the market continues to roar back to pre-pandemic levels.
