Description
The land for sale North of Crossfell Cottage offers a rare opportunity to secure two fully serviced building plots, each with full planning permission for a fourbedroom dwelling. The site benefits from mains services already in place, along with additional land to accommodate lifestyle, amenity, or recreational needs. Properties with land in this area seldom come to market, and selfbuild opportunities are rarer still, this sale brings both together in one exceptional offering.
DESCRIPTION
The Land North of Crossfell Cottage represents a scarce and valuable opportunity, with full planning permission in place for two fourbedroom houses and additional land included. Well positioned with roadside access and set within an attractive rural location, the plots offer strong potential for a developer seeking to capitalise on the investment already made and the strategic siting of the land.
Equally, the sale may appeal to an enduser seeking a lifestyle property with scope for multigenerational living or the creation of an additional income stream. The proximity to Kielder provides excellent potential for a diversified income via a holiday let, while the second dwelling could readily be rented or sold, depending on the purchaser’s preference.
Full planning permission was granted in 2016 (ref 16/02536/FUL) and 2015 (ref 15/03575/FUL), with all conditions subsequently discharged and a certificate of lawful development issued in 2023. Mains water and electricity have already been brought to the site, offering a blank canvas for any purchaser to immediately benefit from the works and investment already undertaken.
LOCATION
The property is located in the village of Stannersburn in Northumberland. Bellingham lies approximately 8.5 miles to the east and provides a range of local shops and services, including a doctor’s surgery and both primary and secondary schooling. The market town of Hexham, around 25 miles to the southeast, offers a wider selection of national and independent retailers, together with extensive professional, health and educational facilities. Newcastle upon Tyne is situated approximately 40 miles to the southeast.
The property is an area renowned for its dark skies and outstanding natural beauty. Kielder Water is just 1.2 miles to the west, and the popularity of this and other wellknown local attractions ensures the property is ideally placed for country living and for generating additional income through tourismrelated opportunities.
