Description

: A rare opportunity to acquire 0.28 acre freehold land assembly in the heart of Troutbeck Bridge, a short distance from Windermere. The site comprises Back Acre, (a previous allotment), a detached garage with parking, and a former drying area with outbuildings, offering multiple development, enhancement, or consolidation routes.

The land previously held planning permission for three dwellings (granted in 02/09/2021, ref. 7/2020/5482, which has now expired), demonstrating precedent for residential development.

Available as a single lot for £195,000, with the option to purchase components individually.

Back Acre, outlined in Blue on the plan, has a guide price of £125,000, and is a walled parcel of land situated behind Brook Street Cottages and which was previously an allotment. This was also granted planning permission for the three dwellings, but is also suitable for a garden extension, or amenity land. Brook Street is outlined in green on the plan, and is also included in the 'Back Acre' package.

The detached garage and parking, which is outlined in pink on the plan, is available at a guide price of £45,000. This comprises a stand alone garage with adjoining parking for 1 car. This could be considered for local owners, and also offers potential for storage, workshop use or redevelopment (subject to consents).

The drying area and former WC block is outlined in turquoise on the plan. The price is available upon enquiry, and the space offers scope for storage or ancillary uses.

This package is situated in a sought-after village conveniently close to Windermere and Ambleside, with direct access to the A591, and close proximity to amenities.
