1-4 Castle Keep, Egremont CA22
Key Features
- Site to build 4 detached homes
- Located in the historic market town of Egremont
- The Old Egremont Cinema site
- All homes to have parking facilities
- Close to local amenities
Description
An exciting opportunity to acquire a development site with approved plans to build four detached homes, each with a minimum of two off-street parking spaces.
Located on the site of the former Castle Cinema, which was demolished in 2007 following approved planning permission, this location holds local history. The cinema originally closed in 1976 and was later used as a bingo hall and snooker club before its demolition.
This cleared site now offers excellent potential for a developer to bring forward a high-quality residential scheme in a well-established area of Egremont.
Planning Reference: 4/21/2485/0F1
