The building has had “positive pre-planning advice” in regards to plans for creating 28 flats or a 58-bed care home.
It is on the market with estate agents DHA Land for £550,000.
A listing on Rightmove states: “DHA Land has been instructed by NHS Property Services to market the former Cairn Ryan Day Hospital, a vacant healthcare and office building declared surplus to NHS requirements.
“The freehold site extends to approximately 1.19 acres.
“Access is taken directly from London Road, and the open land to the rear gives scope for redevelopment, subject to planning.”
The Kent NHS Community Health Trust leased space on the site up until October 2024, when it relocated services to other bases.
It was used for assessments for adults with learning disabilities, as well as an office space for the trust.
The services for disabled adults were moved to Dover Health Centre, as it is understood this location was deemed more accessible and appropriate.

Offers for purchasing it are being accepted until December 11.
