LandDescription
A development site on Grove Street in Worsbrough, extending to approximately 468 sq m. The land previously had planning permission, granted in August 2014, for two detached homes with integral garages, off-street parking and private rear gardens. The proposed houses were arranged over three floors. The consent may no longer be valid, so buyers should check the planning history and establish the current scope for development with Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council. Local shops, schools and amenities are nearby, with access to Barnsley town centre and surrounding link roads.

50out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £180,000, the asking price is exceptionally low against the local £/sqf benchmark, making this a strikingly cheap acquisition opportunity. The plot is heavily overgrown, and no completed dwelling is visible, so this is a development-site project rather than a house renovation. The listing cites previous permission for two detached homes, but that consent dates from 2014 and may no longer be valid; current planning feasibility needs checking.
Key opportunities
- The approximately 468 sq m plot and roadside frontage offer scope to shape a substantial residential scheme; the historic drawing for two detached homes provides a reference point, subject to fresh planning checks.
- Clearing the dense vegetation would open up the site for proper inspection and assessment of its layout and potential.
Key risks
- This is a heavy site-development programme, not a cosmetic refresh: allow for vegetation clearance, ground and boundary assessment, and a full build programme before any homes are delivered.
- The previous planning permission dates from 2014 and may have expired, so future development potential needs to be verified with the council.
