It is currently vacant and in need of a total refurbishment, but has the potential for a variety of renovations – depending on planning approval.
The detached building sits on a “good-sized plot” and has two moorings.
On the ground floor, there is an open-plan room at the front, a large hallway and a room to the rear with a utility room and toilet.
A living/dining room with a balcony, kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom are all on the first floor.
The second floor has a “generous” loft and storage.

It has been suggested that the buyer could potentially make further use of this space.
There are also two dilapidated boats occupying the moorings, however, their ownership is unknown.
Clive Emson describes it as a “quirky and unusual” property, which is opposite Queenborough Creek and is close to the boat yard.
“The mixed-use building has an open-plan ground floor, which we understand was previously a shop, with residential accommodation above which enjoys views of the river and countryside,” it goes on to say.
It is now on the market, with a guide price of £220,000 and is Lot 130 at the auction.

One of the returning lots is an 18th-century watermill, which has been re-listed in the February auction.
The Grade II-listed site in Edenbridge High Street was built in the mid-1700s and was used to mill flour until 1919, before shutting in 1968 due to a flood that fractured the pit wheel.
In December, it was previously put on the market for around £390,000, with one estate agent describing it as “a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become the proud owner of one of the most beautiful properties in Edenbridge”.
The property – Lot 44 – is currently used as open-plan office space but has been granted permission for change of use to residential.
