Description

Cliff Orchard is a parcel of land of approximately 0.11 acres on the western edge of Snainton, accessed from West Lane. The plot has established boundaries, a gravelled driveway and a number of apple, plum and pear trees. An existing concrete-block building with a semi-circular roof measures approximately 6.71 m by 5.49 m. Mains water and electricity connections are stated to be available. The site is offered by private treaty and may interest adjoining owners or purchasers looking for a small village-edge plot with an existing building and road access. Any proposed use or changes would be subject to planning permission and other necessary consents, which prospective purchasers should investigate independently. Snainton has a range of local services, with further amenities in Pickering and Malton and road links to the A169, A170 and A64.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

44out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

Cliff Orchard is a small, edge-of-village land project rather than a conventional house renovation: the 0.11-acre plot has established fruit trees, boundaries, gravelled access and an existing blockwork building with mains water and electricity. Clearing the overgrown areas and inspecting the weathered roof and door could help make better use of the site, subject to the necessary consents. The building’s condition and any intended use would need checking; no clear structural failure is visible in the photos.

The overall WHOTS score is 44/100 (E, Low Opportunity), with the score limited in part by insufficient information to assess renovation economics. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sq ft cannot yet be judged. The asking price is £40,000, but without a usable floor area that figure alone does not establish whether it represents good value.

Key opportunities

  • Clear and maintain the overgrown sections of the 0.11-acre plot while making use of its established apple, plum and pear trees.
  • Inspect the existing blockwork building and assess whether repair or continued use could suit your plans, subject to necessary consents.
  • Make use of the gravelled access, established boundaries and mains water and electricity connections.

Key risks

  • The curved roof and external timber door show visible weathering and should be inspected.
  • The building’s condition and any proposed use require verification, including any necessary planning permission or other consents.
