** SECURE PLOT, IN EXCESS OF ONE ACRE** North Bridge Street, Shefford, Bedfordshire, SG17

Prime 1.16-Acre (50,529 Sq Ft) Freehold Land Opportunity; Kingsmeade, Shefford

An outstanding opportunity to acquire a 1.16-acre (approximately 50,529 sq ft) freehold site situated in a quiet yet highly accessible location within Kingsmeade, Shefford. Located just a short distance from the town centre and local amenities, this cleared parcel of land offers excellent potential for a variety of future uses, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and consents.

The seller may also consider granting a new lease of the site, subject to the agreed terms, covenant strength and proposed use.

A guide rent in the region of £0.60 per sq ft per annum is sought, reflecting the site's current condition as a secure parcel of open land. Any rent agreed will be subject to the length of lease, proposed use, tenant covenant and other commercial terms.

The site lies immediately adjacent to three dwellings that were granted planning permission in 2018 and subsequently constructed in 2019, demonstrating the area's proven development potential. The land has been cleared, with part benefiting from a compacted gravel surface and the remainder laid to grass, offering a blank canvas for a range of prospective schemes (subject to planning).

The property benefits from its own private access, together with secure gated entrance and metal perimeter fencing. Prospective purchasers or tenants should satisfy themselves as to the availability and capacity of all mains services, utility connections and any planning or technical matters relevant to their intended use.

Development & Planning Potential

The site presents an excellent opportunity for owner-occupiers, investors or developers seeking land with future potential. Whilst there are no current planning applications or permissions relating to the site itself, it may be suitable for a range of residential, commercial, storage or other uses, subject to securing all necessary planning consents.

Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries with the Local Planning Authority and undertake all investigations regarding planning, flood risk, drainage, environmental matters and any other due diligence before entering into a legally binding agreement.

According to publicly available flood mapping, the majority of the site falls within Flood Zone 3, with sections along the southern and western boundaries falling within Flood Zone 2. Buyers should obtain independent professional advice regarding any proposed development.
