A family-run car dealership is up for sale for nearly £1 million and includes the option to build apartments.

Grovehurst Cars in King Street, Sittingbourne, has been put on the market.

An estate agent said the 24,227 sq ft surfaced piece of land is “securely fenced and gated”.

It was listed online by chartered surveyors Watson Day on Monday (March 10).

They added: “We are advised there is electricity, water supply and drainage on site.

“The site would lend itself to open storage uses, car rental or other clean open storage uses.”

Existing offices and portable cabins are not included in the offer, with pictures showing that most of the cars have already been removed.

It has been put on the market for £975,000, with a small section already reserved under a lease to a telecommunications provider.

The listing went on to say: “Applicants should satisfy themselves in respect of planning use for their particular use.

“Our client has undertaken some pre-application work for residential development to 32 apartments (plans available upon request).”

The company is family-run and specialises in selling high-quality used cars.

It has more than 25 years of experience in the motoring industry.

Owner Harry Stockwell told KentOnline he doesn't yet know who is taking over or what it will be used for.

“We have decided to condense our business to our Bobbing site where we have our preparation centre and room for 150 used cars," he said.

“I am 80 this year and decided to step back a bit as the longest-serving motor trader in England. I will reach 65 years in the trade this November.”
