Description

Development Opportunity - Bank End Road, Worsbrough Dale, Barnsley

An excellent opportunity to acquire a residential development site with full planning permission for the construction of five 1-bedroom bungalows in the popular and well-established area of Worsbrough Dale.

Positioned on a corner plot at the end of a junction, the site offers an attractive setting with a natural slope, lending itself to a thoughtfully designed scheme that could appeal strongly to the local downsizer and single-occupancy market.

Key Features:

Full planning permission for 5 x 1-bedroom bungalows

Estimated resale values of circa £175,000 per unit

Strong local demand for smaller, single-storey accommodation

Attractive end-of-junction position

Scope for a distinctive, well-designed scheme

Established residential location with good local amenities and transport links

Investment Highlights:
Based on current market conditions, the completed scheme has an estimated Gross Development Value (GDV) of approximately £875,000.

Estimated build and development costs are in the region of £515,000, offering a projected gross profit of approximately £360,000

This represents an appealing opportunity for developers seeking a manageable, small-scale project in a proven sales location. Demand for bungalows in the Barnsley area remains consistently strong, particularly among downsizers and retirees, supporting achievable resale values.

The scheme size also allows for efficient build delivery, making it well-suited to local and regional developers.

Location:
Worsbrough Dale is a popular residential suburb of Barnsley, offering convenient access to local shops, schools, and transport links, as well as nearby green spaces and countryside. The area continues to see steady buyer demand, particularly for modern, low-maintenance homes.

Additional Information:
Further details, including planning documentation, site information and full costing available, are available upon request.

Early enquiry is recommended - opportunities of this scale and nature are rarely available in such a well-established location.

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.
