Development opportunity

Development site with five buildings and 14.78 acres close to Newcastle Upon Tyne.

CLOSING DATE FOR OFFERS WITH PROOF OF FUNDS, BY NOON ON WEDNESDAY 10TH AUGUST 2022.

This is a very rare opportunity to create a beautiful country home close to Newcastle Upon Tyne. The cottages, which are currently un-occupied and in need of renovation, are set out as a three bedroom cottage and a two bedroom cottage, with access between the two currently only on the first floor. The property will need complete renovation and planning consents for any significant alterations. The property is brick built and rendered with a slate roof and has parking areas to the rear and a large garden to the front.

The range of buildings has the potential for development into several residential units subject to the necessary consents. A neighbouring property does currently have a right of access from the main road behind the cottages to access their property, however it may be possible to create an alternative access. This is marked in green on the sale plan.
