Owned by The Rugby Portobello Trust, a youth, education and housing charity, based in North Kensington, the site has been providing opportunities for inner-city young people to experience the sea and countryside for over 100 years. Set within a Site of Special Scientific interest, the centre comprises a collection of buildings, the more notable ones being Rugby Cottage - a detached 1930s house built as caretaker s accommodation, the Hall and attached dormitories. In addition to these, there are several single storey buildings which provided dormitories, washing facilities and storage. The land is laid to grass and runs up to the sea wall and there is a swimming pool in need of repair. The camp is a most unusual property with a long history stretching back to 1902 and now presents an opportunity to refurbish or redevelop, subject to acquiring the necessary consents. Planning permission was granted in 2012, with an expiry date of 18/09/15 for the demolition and rebuilding of the camp, the details of which can be viewed at www.shepway.gov.uk Ref no Y12/0585/SH. Prospective buyers must make their own enquiries. Location The Rugby Portobello Centre occupies a fantastic seaside location in St Mary s Bay.
