Description

Development Land for Sale in Tamworth (Two Gates B77 1EJ) — Freehold, No Green Belt, Guide £420,000

A rare freehold development opportunity in Two Gates, Tamworth: 8,041 sqm (just under 2 acres) of level, rectangular land fronting the A5 Watling Street, offered by online and live auction with a guide price of £420,000.

The Location

The site sits on Watling Street (A5) in Two Gates, Tamworth B77 1EJ, directly opposite 410 Watling Street. Junction 10 of the M42 is under 2 miles away, giving fast access to Birmingham, the M6 and the wider Midlands motorway network — ideal for anyone searching for development land near the M42 or land for sale in Tamworth with strong road links.

Tamworth train station connects to Birmingham New Street in 18–20 minutes and London Euston in around 70 minutes on the West Coast Main Line, while Birmingham Airport is a 25-minute drive. Two Gates Primary School (Ofsted Outstanding) and Ventura Retail Park are both close by, and the town's Gungate Regeneration Quarter is bringing further investment to the wider area.

The Property

This is a broadly rectangular freehold building plot of approximately 8,041.76 sqm (STMS), registered with Title Absolute under Title Number SF539457. The land is not within the Green Belt, which removes a major planning constraint and makes this a genuine freehold development site with residential development potential in Tamworth, subject to obtaining planning consent.

The plot's level topography and southern frontage onto the A5 suit a range of schemes — residential, mixed-use or employment-led — subject to Tamworth Borough Council's Local Plan. No recent planning applications are recorded, so this is effectively a blank canvas for developers searching for development land for sale in the Midlands.

Outside

The land can be inspected on foot at any reasonable time during daylight hours, with no appointment required — though viewings are undertaken entirely at the visitor's own risk. Buyers should note the site is subject to existing rights, including a requirement for written consent from London & Continental Railways before any disposition of the estate, plus covenants under a 1979 Deed of Grant and a 1996 Agreement; mines and minerals are excepted from the title.
