Description

For sale by Auction on 11 November 2026.
Offered in partnership with Leeds City Council

A freehold parcel of land extending to approximately 0.39 acres (0.16 hectares), situated on the western side of Manor Crescent in Rothwell, approximately 0.6 miles from Rothwell town centre and 3.7 miles from Leeds city centre.

The site comprises a generally flat area of land and was formerly a garage site. The land is accessed via Manor Crescent and is bounded to the north by residential properties fronting Rose Grove, with open fields to the west.

In particular, the site may be suitable for a residential development scheme.

Redevelopment: The purchase will be expected to redevelop the land within a certain time period. Please refer to the legal pack for full details.

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
