Description

This property presents an excellent renovation or investment opportunity, featuring a period cottage in a state of disrepair, set against stunning views of the Staffordshire countryside. The site boasts outline planning consent for a new two-story detached dwelling, providing potential for investors or developers to create a contemporary residence in this picturesque location. Situated in the village of Alsagers Bank, the property benefits from its tranquil surroundings and community amenities. The village is characterized by its expansive vistas and includes essential facilities such as St. John's Church, a primary school, and a local football club. Public transport links are readily available with regular bus services connecting Alsagers Bank to Newcastle under Lyme and Audley. Additionally, the site is conveniently located less than four miles from the A500, offering easy access to the M6 motorway and beyond. The approved plans for redevelopment open up numerous possibilities, allowing for creativity in design while adhering to community guidelines. Interested parties are encouraged to reach out to Newcastle under Lyme Borough Council for further details on the planning consent (Ref 23/00103/OUT). While there has been a report of Japanese Knotweed on the land—identified at the rear near school railings—the vendor has monitored the situation closely and noted no recent regrowth. This aspect should be taken into consideration during due diligence processes. This freehold property presents an invaluable chance for those looking to invest in real estate with significant potential for growth and development within a charming village setting. As there is no internal access available and no personal inspection conducted by auctioneers, prospective buyers should conduct their own inspections and surveys as necessary before placing bids.
