Description

An exceptional and rare opportunity has arisen to acquire a prime parcel of land on Fox Lane, Frecheville, offering significant potential for residential development.

A pre-application submission has been successfully approved in principle for the construction of an impressive two-storey, four-bedroom detached dwelling. The proposed design includes well-proportioned accommodation, attractive front and rear gardens backing directly onto Jaunty Park, as well as off-road parking and a secure gated entrance—creating an ideal setting for modern family living.

This opportunity is perfectly suited to experienced developers and building firms seeking a high-quality project in a desirable location. Equally, it presents an exciting prospect for self-builders or project managers looking to design and create a bespoke “forever home” tailored to their own specifications.

It is also worth noting that, while the current pre-application reflects a property in keeping with neighbouring homes to the south of the site, the generous size of the plot offers scope for alternative designs. Subject to the necessary planning permissions, there is potential to pursue a larger five-bedroom dwelling, further enhancing the appeal and versatility of this site.

Further details are available upon request.
