Location

Chatham is located in north Kent some 28 miles east of central London and 9 miles north of Maidstone.

The town benefits from close proximity to M2 and access onto the motorway network. Chatham together with Rochester Gillingham & Strood are built around the confluence of the Rivers Medway & Thames.

The site is some 3 miles north of Junctions 3 & 4 M2.

The property is situated in the Luton suburb of Chatham towards the southern end of the Medway town’s conurbation. Luton has a very short high street with 3 public houses & convenience shopping. There are more comprehensive shopping facilities at Hempstead Valley. Capstone Road branches off Ash Tree Lane and is some 750m south of the A2.

The property lies to the east of Capstone Road immediately opposite the junction with North Dane Way just beyond the built boundary of Luton at the entrance to the Southern Water site. To the south of the site is an open area used as a recreation ground and laid out with football pitches.
