Description

SOLD AFTER AUCTION

1.59 acres (stms) of strategic land with significant hope value for residential development

This parcel of land extends to around 1.59 acres (stms). Formerly a builders yard it has a detached timber building which was used as offices and storage. Indicative plans have been drawn up by an architect for eight bungalows on the site, subject to planning permission. A planning application was withdrawn in 2025.

This is an exciting opportunity for a builder / investor to secure residential consent giving significant potential for planning uplift. The adjoining house no 33 is being sold as a separate lot in the same auction.

The land is located less than half a mile south west of the town centre in an established residential area.

First time to market in 70 years making this a rare opportunity.

Planning A planning application was made on land off west side of 33 Cherry Tree Lane
for erection of eight single storey detached dwellings and associated garaging.
