For sale by Modern Method of Auction; Starting Bid Price £380,000 plus reservation fee. Subject to an undisclosed reserve price.
An excellent and rare development opportunity has arisen to acquire this town centre building plot, benefitting from outline planning permission for the demolition of the existing industrial unit and the construction of five, three storey residential dwellings, all comprising three bedrooms, to include three townhouses and a pair of three bedroom semi detached houses.
The site is currently occupied by a single industrial unit, which is to be demolished as part of the approved scheme. The plot is offered for sale as a whole, presenting an attractive prospect for developers seeking a well located residential project.
Ideally positioned within the town centre, the site enjoys immediate access to a wide range of local amenities, well regarded schools, and excellent transport links, including convenient access to the M1 motorway, making it highly appealing for future occupiers.
