Chipley Quarry is a 2.90-acre former mineral workings parcel on the edge of Bickington, offering a secluded rural site with level hardstanding and surrounding woodland. The cleared southern compound gives immediate, practical use for storage, parking or temporary yard space while longer-term options would require planning and site investigation.
The site benefits from good road access and proximity to the A38, making it convenient for transport or commercial uses. An unmetered mains electricity connection is present (no warranty given). The mix of open plateau and tree belts provides excellent screening and privacy, and the included sporting and mineral rights may interest specialised buyers.
Buyers must note significant constraints: the land is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), which will restrict change of use and require consultation with Natural England. The parcel is also in a high flood-risk area and will demand flood-risk assessment and potentially mitigation works. Development potential is therefore constrained and likely to involve substantial pre-application work, surveys and specialist advice.
This property is offered for sale by online timed auction with legal and buyer’s fees payable. It will suit purchasers seeking an investment or specialist redevelopment opportunity who understand the responsibilities attached to SSSI land and the practical costs of working on a former quarry site.
