For sale: a freehold plot of land in Meir, Stoke-on-Trent, where a detached bungalow previously stood. The site is broadly level and laid mainly to lawn with established shrubs and hedging, fronting a residential road of similar bungalow style homes. The plot is offered without current planning permission, but with clear potential for a future detached bungalow to be constructed on site, subject to the usual consents.
The surrounding area is predominantly residential, giving the plot a comfortable suburban setting with open aspects towards neighbouring homes and green space. Everyday amenities are within easy reach, with Meir’s local shops, cafés and services centred around Weston Road and Meir Square.
For families, there is a selection of primary and secondary schools in the wider Meir and Longton area, making this a practical base once developed. Nearby green spaces and playing fields provide opportunities for outdoor recreation.
Transport links are convenient for commuting across the city and beyond. Meir is well placed for road access to the A50, connecting quickly to the A500 and M6. Longton railway station is around a 10minute drive, offering services towards Stoke-on-Trent and Derby, with onward connections to Birmingham and Manchester.
