Description
Offered at auction, this freehold former piggery site extends to approximately five acres, not measured, in a rural setting beside Daneshill Lakes and Nature Reserve. The holding includes a range of agricultural buildings, extensive hardstanding and a detached bungalow that has only been constructed to damp-proof-course level. The listing describes previous planning permission for a dwelling and an altered access, with an agricultural occupancy condition; buyers should check the current status and requirements with the local authority before relying on it.
The proposed bungalow layout comprises a hall, lounge, kitchen-diner, utility room, shower room, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The site has road frontage and the listing reports mains water and electricity connections and a septic tank, with service availability and condition to be verified independently. Existing buildings, open land and a static caravan are also noted. The rural location provides access to Retford, Bawtry, Doncaster and the A1(M). Any future use or development would be subject to the necessary consents.

37out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a substantial rural site rather than a finished house: the bungalow is only at foundation level, with extensive hardstanding, open land and a range of agricultural buildings. The setting beside Daneshill Lakes and the existing site infrastructure give a self-build or redevelopment-minded buyer a distinctive canvas, but the bungalow’s structural adequacy, planning position and the buildings’ condition all need careful checking. The 37/100 score reflects limited evidence on both value and renovation economics, alongside the scale of the work—not a judgement that the price is dear. With no usable floor area, value against local £/sq ft cannot yet be judged. This is an auction guide price, and bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
Key opportunities
- Use the existing foundation-level bungalow as a possible starting point for completing a two-bedroom dwelling, subject to checks on its adequacy and the relevant planning conditions.
- Rework the extensive open land and hardstanding around the existing buildings to suit a lawful rural, equestrian or commercial use, subject to necessary consents.
- Make the lakeside nature-reserve setting and mature trees a defining feature of a future scheme.
Key risks
- A bungalow stopped at damp-proof-course level, weathered agricultural buildings and a five-acre site make this a major construction and site programme, not a cosmetic refresh; budget for completion and possible repair or removal after detailed inspection.
- The bungalow’s structural adequacy, the status and conditions of the historic planning permission, and the lawful use or retention of the agricultural buildings require verification.
