PlotDescription
Offered by online auction, this freehold building plot of approximately 0.34 acres is on the edge of Greatworth, with views across open countryside. Full planning approval is in place for a detached four-bedroom house, and the listing states that the conditions have been discharged. The site is described as ready for construction, although the purchaser will need to arrange access and services.

Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
44out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a self-build opportunity rather than a renovation of an existing house: the site is open and grassed, with full planning consent for a detached four-bedroom home and a substantial garden in a countryside setting. The consented design is illustrative; the dwelling has not been built, and the purchaser must arrange services and access. The listing also states that a local-connection requirement applies under the Section 106 agreement, so eligibility and the planning details deserve careful checking.
At £300,000, the value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged because the floor area is missing. The overall score is 44/100 (grade E), with limited condition and economics evidence; the fundamentals score is stronger. This could suit someone seeking a custom-build project, but it is a substantial delivery programme rather than a cosmetic refresh. It is an online auction: bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
Key opportunities
- Build the consented detached four-bedroom design as a custom home, with scope to shape the interior to suit your needs.
- Make use of the open plot, substantial garden potential and countryside setting on the edge of the village.
- Full planning consent is in place and the listing says conditions have been discharged, providing a defined starting point for the build.
Key risks
- This is a vacant plot with no completed dwelling: plan for a full new-build programme, including arranging access and services, rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- Check the Section 106 local-connection requirement and any applicable CIL, and verify the planning and delivery obligations before proceeding.
