LandDescription
Harris and Wood are offering a development site with planning permission for an eight-flat scheme in a four-storey building. The proposed mix comprises six two-bedroom flats and two one-bedroom flats. The listing gives indicative sale prices for the proposed apartments, which are estimates rather than guaranteed values.
There is also an option to acquire the existing building at Market Street as part of a combined purchase. The listing states that this building has permission for demolition and the potential erection of apartments, under planning reference 15/00615/ful. Purchasers should verify the scope and current status of the permissions and proposals.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a substantial development project rather than a renovation of a habitable house: the site is heavily overgrown, and the visible structure appears partly demolished, with exposed and deteriorated masonry. The listing states that permission exists for a four-storey, eight-flat scheme, giving the project a clear route to explore, but the planning reference, approved plans and current status should be checked carefully. The £95,000 asking price cannot yet be judged against local £/sqf because the floor area is missing, and the available information is not enough to assess renovation economics.
Key opportunities
- Explore the stated four-storey, eight-flat scheme as a way to transform the overgrown, partly demolished site into a substantial residential development.
- The visible street access and built-up setting offer a practical starting point for assessing the proposed scheme and the site's potential.
Key risks
- The overgrown plot and partly demolished structure, with exposed and deteriorated masonry, point to a major site-clearance and construction programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; the project budget and timeline need careful assessment.
- Verify the planning permission's current status, conditions and approved plans before relying on the proposed eight-flat scheme.
