A small freehold development site adjacent to Cobcar Street with planning permission for 13 homes: one detached dwelling, four pairs of semi-detached houses and a block of four townhouses. The site lies within an established residential setting in Elsecar, with fast broadband, average local amenities and several ‘Good’ primary and secondary schools nearby, supporting family buyers once built.
The plot is offered with a guide price of £500,000–£550,000 and is suited to a small developer or investor seeking a compact new-build scheme in an transitioning industrial-to-residential area. The planning consent and site layout provide a ready framework to proceed, reducing early-stage planning risk.
Buyers should note the site is small and will require careful contract and build-phase management to optimise unit design and parking. The immediate area records above-average crime levels, which will be a material consideration for marketing and specification decisions. There is no flooding risk and the plot includes provision for garden space and garage parking as part of the approved scheme.
Overall, this is a practical opportunity to deliver 13 new homes in an accessible minor conurbation location. The strongest value drivers are the granted planning permission, freehold tenure and broadband connectivity; key challenges are the limited plot size and local crime statistics which should inform design, security and sales strategy.
