Description

A development site of just over a third of an acre, subject to verification, behind Scarborough Farm on the rural outskirts of Burham. The land is offered as a whole or as two individual plots, with a scheme for two individually designed detached homes. The proposed designs combine contemporary glazing with traditional materials, and each home is shown with two allocated parking spaces and additional visitor parking. Planning permission for the scheme was previously granted but has lapsed. A fresh application has been submitted to reinstate it, and the sale is subject to a stipulation against major changes to the approved design. The plots are intended to use an off-mains sewage system. Buyers should verify the current planning position, conditions, services and development obligations before proceeding. The elevated site is described as having views across the Medway Valley towards the North Downs. Burham is close to the North Downs Way and Kent Downs, with access to the M2 and M20 via Blue Bell Hill. The listing also notes nearby schools and village amenities, and gives an estimated gross development value of £1.3 million, which is an agent estimate rather than an independent valuation.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

69out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £500,000, the site is priced at about £177/sq ft, around half the local average, making the asking price a notable acquisition opportunity. The agent estimates a £1.3m GDV for the proposed two-home scheme, a substantial spread over the asking price, but that figure is not an independent valuation and the works budget has not been estimated, so the current all-in figure is purchase-only. The land is open and grassed, with established hedges and an elevated rural setting; the illustrated homes are not built. Planning permission has lapsed and a fresh application is submitted, so planning and delivery feasibility need checking.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire the site at a low asking price relative to the local £/sq ft average.
  • Potential to develop two individually designed detached homes, with the option to acquire the whole site or either plot.
  • Elevated rural setting with established boundary hedges and views described across the Medway Valley and North Downs.

Key risks

  • Planning permission has lapsed and the fresh application is still pending; verify the outcome and delivery feasibility.
  • Plot boundaries, access details and service connections are not established by the photographs; the scheme also proposes off-mains sewage.
