Description
With permission in principle for the erection of one dwelling, this beautifully positioned, rural plot measures approximately 800 sqm and offers great commutability, a lovely setting, superb rural walks on the doorstep, and delightful aspects. There are mains services located nearby, including drainage, electricity and water. The plot has fence and hedge boundaries. The building of a single-storey or two-storey home could be appropriate, and the use of materials locally are generally stone and render, making this an exciting opportunity to create a home of interest in this delightful location.
Planning consent was recently given (application number: 2026/59/91635/E). The indicative drawings give an idea of what might be achieved but it is down to the purchasers to go further in terms of getting individual designs approved by the local authority.
We offer this lovely building plot for sale via the Best & Final Offers method. All bids to be submitted in writing to the Kirkburton office no later than 12 noon on Thursday 12th November 2026.
Interested parties are asked to view at respectful times (ideally arranged through the Kirkburton office) and, when making an offer, to inform the selling agents of their financial position and what the purchase may well be subject to (whether this be the sale of a property, mortgage and any other factors that might be useful to know).
Additional Information
Please note, the aerial view boundaries are approximate. There is now a fence in place which can be seen by prospective buyers upon viewing.
