THE SITE
A small, broadly rectangular freehold plot of about 102.59 sq m (1,104 sq ft), subject to measured survey. It sits on the south side of Hollins Lane, next to the driveway to Long Acre. The site was formerly a pump station. It is now overgrown and sits behind the roadside verge, between a dry-stone wall and the trees that border Long Acre, with grazing land to the west. It may suit a neighbouring owner or a buyer looking for a small amenity plot.
IMPORTANT
The auctioneers have not personally inspected the site. The information here comes from the seller and from public records. Buyers must arrange their own inspection and survey before bidding.
PLANNING
There is no planning permission. Any change of use, including to residential, would need full planning permission from North Yorkshire Council. Buyers should check whether any Green Belt, conservation area or landscape designations apply, and should seek pre-application advice before bidding.
LOCATION
Hampsthwaite is a popular village on the River Nidd, about five miles north-west of Harrogate. It has a village shop, pub, primary school, church and cricket club. Harrogate offers shops, restaurants and rail services to Leeds and York, and Nidderdale is close by.
