Description
- We are delighted to be able to offer a parcel of land measuring approx. 1.13 acres located in the town of Radstock.
This parcel of land, building and play area are owned by St Nicholas Church and they have permission from the Diocese to obtain bids for the potential development. Access to the land is via its own driveway, however the church would like to discuss with any developer building a small carpark area to the north of the site for parishioners and people visiting. The topography of the land is level and has not been used for burials. There is an old miners dunking pool to the west of the site which is fed by the stream. Most of the site is outside of the Floodzone. The church is Grade 2 listed.
Method of Sale - Our vendor is seeking a Developer to enter into either a Joint Venture, subject to planning, or a Promotion Agreement. Offers are invited, and the purchase price will be based on a percentage of the resale Gross Development Value (GDV). For further information or to discuss this opportunity, please contact the appointed agent.
Planning - It will be the responsibility of the developer/promoter to make representations under the option or promotion agreement to Bath and North East Somerset Council.
Location - Radstock is a town in Somerset, situated approximately 8 miles southwest of Bath, and is one of the best-preserved former coal-mining towns in England having its very own Museum where you can view a range of exhibits. The town is home to Writhlington School, famous for its orchid collection, and a range of educational, religious and cultural buildings and sporting clubs. Running into the town are two routes for cyclists, the local Greenway and a section of the National Cycle Network which runs from Bath through Radstock and onto Frome and the South Coast. Nearest train stations are Bath Spa and Frome.
Viewings - Viewing is strictly by appointment only, please contact Darren Woodyer on option 5. Please note this is a parcel of bare land open to the elements and suitable precautions and care should be taken during viewings.
