Description
A 0.49-acre site in Kempston Rural comprising a detached bungalow of approximately 2,000 sq ft, currently arranged as three independent units. The listing states that the units could provide rental income while the site is held, subject to verification of tenancy and income details. The property is marketed with redevelopment potential, including architect-prepared illustrative layouts for either eight three-bedroom semi-detached homes or four four-bedroom detached homes. These are proposals rather than planning approvals, and planning feasibility would need to be verified.
The site is described as overlapping the emerging local plan allocation HOU13, Land at Gibraltar Corner, Kempston Rural. The listing also refers to a nearby application for up to 295 dwellings and recommends pre-application discussions with the council. Kempston amenities and Bedford town centre, bus station and railway station are stated to be nearby, with access to the A421, A428 and A6.

52out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
The standout is the 0.49-acre plot in Kempston Rural, with a substantial bungalow currently divided into three units and a large garden that could be cleared and reshaped. The exterior looks weathered and the grounds are overgrown in places, offering visible scope to improve the site; the listing also describes possible development layouts, but planning feasibility and technical constraints need checking.
Key opportunities
- Large 0.49-acre plot with illustrative layouts for a possible residential scheme, subject to planning and technical checks.
- Three existing units offer potential rental income while longer-term plans are explored.
- Overgrown garden, mature planting, driveway and hardstanding provide scope to clear and improve the grounds.
Key risks
- The bungalow’s roof tiles look weathered in the available exterior photographs, although no clear major failure is visible.
- Floor area is missing from the listing data, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged.
