Description
Rare opportunity to buy a town centre High Street located plot of land which has multiple opportunities for development open to it subject to planning.
Being offered for sale by private treaty on preferably an unconditional basis our client will consider to offers subject to planning. Our guide price on a conditional basis would expect to be in excess of the guide price.
Various schematic proposals have been considered the best of which sees the land developed into eight apartments and a shop which potentially could be retail or office use.
Of interest to investors and developers the position on a pedestrian only high street is extremely convenient for local amenities and the tube station which is less than a quarter of a mile away.
The plot has limited history, has been held in the same family for 120 years there was a building originally which was used as a wine bar but was burned to the ground in the 1980s. The site widens to the rear and has a significant raised area to the rear that could be removed or designed around.

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.
