    Description

    The property is formed of two attached buildings. The original building comprises a mid 19th century Grade II Listed former oast. This is arranged over three storeys and fronts Gas Street. The original building includes a unique feature in the form of a square kiln to the rear which has a pyramid roof.

    The second building is attached on the western side and is believed to have been built in the 1970s with single storey link to the former oast. This later addition is thought to have originally served as theatre workshops and stores.

    We understand the property was subject to a change of use to a museum store in the early 1980s and this is believed to be its last use before becoming redundant.

    Internally, the property is in need of refurbishment / restoration throughout(subject to necessary planning and listed building consents).

    Externally there is space for surface level parking situated to the north west of the building.

    The property falls within the Canterbury City Council planning jurisdiction. It is situated within a Conservation Area, Area of Archaeological Importance and the Urban Area Boundary.
