Description
The property comprises a substantial freehold development site extending to approximately 1.80 hectares (4.46 acres), situated within an established residential area of Goffs Oak. Formerly occupied as a nursery, the site has largely been cleared and comprises a mixture of open land, areas of hardstanding and some remaining ancillary structures.
The site benefits from an existing access onto Goffs Lane (B156) and is predominantly open in character, with established residential properties adjoining parts of the site and mature trees and vegetation along sections of its boundaries.
The property presents an attractive opportunity for developers seeking a substantial landholding in a desirable residential location. The site is considered suitable for a variety of potential redevelopment opportunities, particularly care home accommodation and/or senior living housing, uses which have previously received support in principle from the Borough of Broxbourne, including a resolution to grant in June 2022 (Ref 07/21/1277/F)
Any redevelopment would be subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. Further information regarding the site's planning history and potential development opportunities is available upon request from VDBM, who will be pleased to provide additional background information.
Location
The property is situated on the northern side of Goffs Lane (B156), within the desirable residential area of Goffs Oak, Hertfordshire. The site benefits from an attractive semi-rural setting whilst remaining conveniently positioned for access to London and surrounding transport networks.
The property benefits from excellent transport links, with the A10 and M25 motorway easily accessible, providing connections to London, Hertfordshire, Essex and the wider South East. Nearby Cuffley railway station offers regular services towards London Moorgate via Finsbury Park, making the location appealing to commuters.
Goffs Oak offers local shops, cafés and amenities, whilst nearby Cuffley, Cheshunt and Waltham Cross provide further retail, leisure, educational and healthcare facilities.
