Description

This property presents a rare investment opportunity situated on the southern edge of Darley village, right across from the local memorial hall. The area serves as a charming residential location with basic amenities like a village shop, primary school, public house, and sports field. For a wider range of services, Harrogate is conveniently located just a 15 to 20-minute drive away. Recently granted planning permission in principle for the construction of two dwellings (decision notice number 25/04632/PIP), this site offers significant potential for development. Detailed planning permission will need to be pursued at the Technical Details Consent stage. Adjacent to mains water and foul sewer infrastructure in Sheepcote Lane, plus available electricity and high-speed broadband connections nearby. Notably, the site spans approximately 0.9 acres and presents additional possibilities for future expansion, as about 1.2 hectares of adjoining land has been nominated for residential development consideration under the new Local Plan. It’s worth acknowledging that while some groundwork is required regarding surface water drainage strategies, this property provides ample scope for someone looking to invest in residential development in this appealing Yorkshire village.
