Description
Currently with light industrial useage and with scope for residential development this parcel of land will no doubt attract investors looking for something to either add to their portfolio of add value with a residential scheme.
There is currently a derelict single storey building on the site with access from Mill Road via some double gates.
The site has been allocated as a brownfield site in the local plan.
Location
The parcel of land is on the edge of Okehampton Town Centre located opposite the park and school entrance. There is a commercial garage area opposite and a redundant mill adjacent. The latter is looking into planning permission for a residential scheme with details available via the WDBC planning portal.
Description
This particular parcel of land extends to circa 0.25 acre, it is bordered by Mill Road, a footpath leading over the river and the East Okement river. It has not been used for circa 35 years and currently has a derelict single storey former garden centre building, concrete hardstanding and overgrown areas.
Outbuildings
There is a single storey derelict outbuilding within the grounds. This formed part of the garden centre. There appears to be a redundant mains electric, drainage and water supply.
Services
We believe that there is mains water, electric and drainage. Any potential purchasers would need to rely on their own searches to confirm this.
Planning
We believe that planning permission was obtained in 1988 and again in 1992 for a number of dwellings. We are awaiting previous planning documents to confirm what was granted. These documents are not available on the WDBC planning portal.
Tenure
The whole is being sold as freehold title.
Legal Costs
Each party will be liable for their own legal costs.
Viewings
The site can be viewed from the parameter, but any access into the site needs to be arranged via GSS Property.
