Description

An exceptional opportunity awaits developers and investors with this freehold consented development site, formerly the Wardles Bridge Inn, located in the attractive rural village of Holmside, Durham. This cleared brownfield plot, spanning approximately 2.297 acres (0.929 ha), comes with full planning consent for the construction of six four-bedroom detached homes.

The site is strategically positioned fronting Holmside Lane, surrounded by picturesque agricultural land and open countryside, with Wardles Burn and tranquil woodland to the rear. This idyllic setting offers a perfect blend of rural charm and convenient accessibility, making it highly desirable for prospective homeowners seeking a peaceful lifestyle within easy commuting distance of major employment hubs. Durham City, Chester-le-Street, and Stanley are all readily accessible, ensuring strong demand from buyers.

Each of the six proposed homes is designed to offer generous living spaces, featuring four well-proportioned bedrooms, including one with an en-suite, a family bathroom, and a spacious open-plan kitchen/family living area. The thoughtful layout ensures modern comfort and functionality for contemporary family life. Externally, each property will benefit from a private driveway and garage, providing ample parking for up to three cars, a front garden, and a rear patio that enjoys captivating views over the adjacent woodland and countryside.

Having been cleared and prepared, this brownfield site is ready for immediate development, offering a streamlined path to construction. The comprehensive planning consent in place means that a developer can commence work without delay, capitalising on the strong market demand for high-quality family homes in desirable rural locations. This is a rare chance to acquire a fully consented, ready-to-build site in a sought-after Durham location, promising significant returns.
