Description
This exceptional building plot, situated in a prime riverside location, offers a unique opportunity for self-build enthusiasts. With planning permission already secured for a detached three-bedroom home spanning approximately 1,150 sq ft, this site is primed for development. The groundwork has been laid with foundations completed to footplate level, and the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) payment has been fulfilled by the current owners. Designed to maximize the stunning views of the River Thames, the proposed layout features an entrance hall, spacious lounge with bi-fold doors leading to a walled courtyard, and multiple bedrooms including a principal suite with an ensuite and walk-out balcony. Enclosed parking is also included. Ideal for investors looking to bring their vision to life in the heart of Abingdon's historic market town.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
56out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £289,000, this plot is priced well below the local average on a £/sqf basis, making the asking price a clear acquisition opportunity. Its riverside setting in central Abingdon is a distinctive draw, and the listing states that planning permission is granted and CIL has been paid.
This is a build project rather than a conventional renovation: the vendor says foundations are at footplate level, but the photographs do not verify that progress and show no completed interiors. Check the consent, foundation works and the proposed turnkey option carefully before proceeding.
Key opportunities
- Acquire at an asking price well below the local £/sqf average.
- Create the proposed detached three-bedroom home, designed to make the most of Thames views.
- Benefit from the central riverside setting, with planning permission and CIL payment stated by the vendor.
Key risks
- Verify the planning consent, its conditions and the reported foundation work before committing.
