Description

This countryside development site, approximately half a mile north-east of Pathhead, extends to around 2,250m². Planning Permission in Principle has been granted under reference 24/00121/PPP for two detached five-bedroom homes, each designed with living and dining accommodation, a utility room and an adjoining double garage. The site lies beside a small group of existing homes and outbuildings, with a road along its eastern boundary and agricultural land beyond other boundaries. Full planning details are available on request or through the Council. The opportunity may suit a developer or self-build purchaser, subject to checking the planning conditions, detailed consents and site requirements. A buyer's premium may apply, with details available from the agent.

43out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a substantial development project rather than a renovation of completed homes: the cleared site, road frontage and countryside setting provide a starting point for creating two bespoke detached family houses. Planning permission in principle is stated for two five-bedroom homes, but the photographs show weathered outbuildings rather than finished residential accommodation, so the opportunity depends on confirming the detailed planning position and site feasibility.

Key opportunities

  • Shape the site into two substantial five-bedroom detached homes, with the proposed living, dining, utility and double-garage provision as a starting point for bespoke designs.
  • Use the cleared areas, existing road frontage and gates to help establish the site, while making the most of the open countryside setting.
  • The stated permission in principle offers a development framework; check its conditions and the detailed approvals before committing.

Key risks

  • Weathered outbuildings, rough vegetation and a largely undeveloped site mean a heavy, ground-up programme; allow for substantial time and coordination rather than a cosmetic refresh.
  • The condition and future treatment of the existing outbuildings, and the feasibility of the proposed development, need to be established.
