Description
PRICE IS £140,000 PER PLOT. A rare opportunity to purchase LAND WITH LAPSED PLANNING PERMISSION (THE OWNER IS IN THE PROCESS OF RE-APPLYING FOR NEW PLANNING PERMISSION) in a SOUGHT AFTER LOCATION in the picturesque village of Mainsforth. Being surrounded by areas with a conservation order, the plots sit within the grounds of what was the historic Mainsforth Castle and still has the original listed gates. The plot is approximately a quarter of an acre in size and has lapsed outline planning permission for the development of a four bedroom detached house, as does a similar sized adjacent plot. Negotiation on the two plots together, or a variation in the exact size of the individual plots would also be welcomed by the seller. Mainsforth is a pleasant village, surrounded by leafy green countryside, located approximately nine miles from the cathedral city of Durham and is a short drive from the A1m and A19. Viewing by appointment only.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The planning permission lapsed in February 2021 and the owner has informed us that a new application has been submitted. Details can be seen on the Durham County Council Planning Portal by following the link -
