Description

A development site of approximately 0.558 acres on the southern edge of Frome, offered for sale by private treaty. Outline planning permission was granted on appeal in October 2023 for five detached self-build and custom-build homes. The land is described as having countryside views towards Lower Whatley, with a level area and no identified flood-zone designation in the listing. Buyers should check the planning documents and all site constraints independently. The town centre is about one mile away and Frome railway station approximately one and a half miles away. The listing also notes access to the A37 and A303, with rail services available from Frome, Westbury and Warminster. The vendor's particulars state that purchasers will need to provide services to the boundary of retained land and investigate service locations and capacity, as well as rights, easements and wayleaves. The agent cites an indicative end value of £625,000 to £650,000 per plot, or approximately £3.125 million to £3.25 million for the completed scheme. These are agent-provided figures, not an independent valuation. The site is open to the elements, and viewings are by prior appointment through Cooper and Tanner.

57out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a development-land opportunity rather than a renovation project: the listing states outline planning permission, granted by appeal, for five detached self-build and custom-build homes on an open, grassed site. Its sloping position is described as offering countryside views, with Frome town centre and railway station within reach. The agent’s stated GDV is £3.125m, a substantial headline spread against the £550,000 asking price; treat that as the agent’s claim, not an independent valuation. No works budget has been estimated, so the current all-in comparison is purchase-only. The floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged yet.

Key opportunities

  • Explore the stated outline consent for five detached self-build and custom-build dwellings, subject to verifying the planning conditions and implementation requirements.
  • The open site and countryside outlook offer scope to shape a new-build scheme around the land’s setting.
  • Frome town centre and station are within roughly one to one-and-a-half miles, supporting access to local amenities and rail connections.

Key risks

  • Verify the planning consent, conditions, servicing requirements and practical delivery of all five plots before committing; the listing says services need to be provided to the boundary.
  • The agent’s GDV is not an independent valuation, and no works budget is available, so the stated development spread is not a confirmed project margin.
