Description

A gently sloping plot of approximately 0.95 acres on the outskirts of Flamstead, with views across the valley towards the village. The land has lapsed planning consent for the demolition of existing outbuildings and construction of a detached, single-storey two-bedroom bungalow with parking and a new access from River Hill. The consent was granted in November 2020 and would need to be resubmitted by a new owner. The listing notes that the plot has since been enlarged and that a larger design may be considered, subject to planning approval and feasibility being verified. Flamstead has a village store, Post Office, pubs and eateries. Redbourn, Harpenden and St Albans provide a wider range of services and shopping. Harpenden station is stated to be approximately 3.6 miles away, Hemel Hempstead station approximately 6 miles away, and the M1 at Junction 9 approximately 1 mile away. The surrounding area offers countryside walks and access to local schools.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

39out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a land-led opportunity rather than a house renovation: the gently sloping 0.95-acre plot has open countryside views and sits on the outskirts of Flamstead, with Harpenden station and the M1 within reach. The listing describes lapsed consent for a two-bedroom bungalow; any new owner would need to verify planning feasibility and submit a fresh application, with scope to explore a different design.

Key opportunities

  • Explore a new dwelling design on the 0.95-acre plot, subject to planning feasibility.
  • Make use of the countryside outlook and village-edge setting in a future scheme.
  • Shape the cleared and scrubby plot into a considered site and outdoor setting.
