Land At West Cottage, Willies Well, Wylam, NE41
- Land size
- 5.52 acres
Description
The site is located within the highly sought-after Tyne Valley village of Wylam, Northumberland, approximately 10 miles west of Newcastle upon Tyne. Wylam is a popular commuter village offering a strong range of local amenities including independent shops, public houses, cafés, restaurants, primary schools, medical facilities and leisure opportunities.
The site occupies an attractive edge-of-settlement position, forming a natural and well-contained extension to the village. The land is bordered by residential development as well as outstanding open views across the Tyne Valley towards Wylam, Heddon-on-the-Wall and the surrounding countryside. Bradley Gardens is located within a short walking distance, offering countryside walks.
The site benefits from excellent accessibility, with bus stops located immediately adjacent and convenient road links to the A69 providing direct routes to Newcastle, Hexham and the wider regional network. Wylam railway station also provides regular services to Newcastle and Carlisle, further enhancing the site’s strong commuter appeal.
Wylam remains one of the most desirable residential locations within the Tyne Valley, with limited recent new-build development and consistently strong demand for high quality housing.
The site is of green belt designation and measures 5.52 Acres (2.23 Hectares). There are services and facilities located immediately next to the site and presents a great opportunity as an infill residential development opportunity subject to obtaining the relevant permissions.
My client will also sell their fully renovated three bedroom property and stables on the site by way of separate negotiation should any purchaser be interested.
The site does not benefit from any relevant planning permissions, and any enquiries should be made through Gateshead Metropolitan Borough Council.
In the recent Gateshead Council call for sites, this site was considered suitable, subject to removal from the greenbelt.
