Land at Woodhead Road, Holmbridge, Holmfirth, West Yorkshire HD9 2NW

For sale by Auction on 24 August 2026.

A rare opportunity to acquire a freehold development site extending to approximately 0.08 acres, formerly occupied by a fish and chip shop, situated in a prominent roadside position fronting Woodhead Road (A6024) in the popular village of Holmbridge (HD9 2NW).

The site benefits from lapsed planning permission, originally granted in 2017, for the construction of an impressive three-storey detached dwelling. The approved scheme comprises a spacious and thoughtfully designed family home, featuring an open-plan kitchen/living/dining area, bathroom, utility room and a ground floor bedroom. The first floor provides four further bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite, together with an additional living room and shower room. A lower ground floor incorporates an integral garage, creating a substantial and versatile residential property.

Occupying a highly visible position on the A6024, the site enjoys convenient access to the amenities of Holmfirth, whilst being surrounded by attractive Pennine countryside. The previous planning approval demonstrates the site's residential potential, offering purchasers an excellent opportunity to pursue a similar scheme, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.

This is an ideal opportunity for developers, builders or self-builders seeking a well-located plot with established residential precedent in a highly desirable West Yorkshire location.

Note: Please be advised that the auctioneers have not personally inspected the property. Prospective buyers are advised to make a viewing enquiry and any other necessary independent enquiries before placing their bid, as this will be binding.
