Description
- We are excited to be able to offer a parcel of land situated on the outskirts of the highly sought-after city of Bath. Positioned along Wellsway, the site sits adjacent to the popular Odd Down Sports Ground and the Barracks Nature Park, offering a desirable setting with excellent local amenities.
Access to the land is available from Wellsway, via an entrance located to the south of the site behind the neighbouring residential and commercial properties. The plot features a steep natural gradient, rising to a series of upper plateaus that provide elevated vantage points.
An informal footpath previously used from the east to western boundaries has been legally resolved in favour of the current vendor, ensuring full control and clarity of access rights. Along the eastern edge of the site, a substantial retaining wall runs parallel to the roadside and pavement, providing structure and definition to the boundary.
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.
Method of Sale - Our vendor is seeking a Developer to enter into either a Joint Venture, subject to planning, Option or 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.
