- 4.06 acres
Description
We are delighted to bring to the market this unique and exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial former nursery and garden centre site, extending in total to approximately 4.06 acres (1.64 hectares), occupying a prominent position off Doncaster Road between the villages of Ackworth and Badsworth, Pontefract.
The site benefits from extensive frontage onto Doncaster Road, providing excellent visibility and accessibility, and offers considerable scope for continued commercial use or redevelopment for a range of alternative purposes, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.
Rarely do sites of this nature and scale become available in such a well-connected location, making this an excellent opportunity for investors, developers or owner-occupiers seeking a versatile site with significant future potential.
