Description

For sale is this exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial plot of land with planning permission already granted for a spacious 4 bedroom detached home. Approval has been granted under application number 2023/0941, which can be viewed via the Barnsley Council planning portal.

This exciting plot is ideally positioned close to stunning countryside walks, a range of shops, pubs and schools, making it a superb setting for anyone looking to create their dream home. Whilst planning permission is currently in place for one dwelling, a successful buyer may wish to explore alternative schemes, including the potential for multiple units, subject to the necessary consents.

Opportunities like this are rare, so if you are looking for a self-build project in a well-connected and desirable location, we feel this could be the one for you. Contact NestledIn to arrange a viewing.
