A private, ring-fenced 7.19-acre parcel on the western edge of Gloucester with a well-equipped 1,350 sq ft timber-clad welfare building (the Common Room) and planning permission for a large set of equestrian stables (Stroud District Council ref: S.25/0541/FUL). The land is flat, Grade 3 grassland with existing post-and-rail and tape fencing, mature hedges for privacy, two gated access points and mains water and electricity to the building.
This property suits buyers seeking a ready-made small equestrian holding, an agricultural parcel with development potential, or an investor targeting countryside land with permitted equine use. The building was constructed around 2020 and includes kitchen, utility, bathrooms and two further rooms; services include mains water and electricity and an external septic tank. Access is from Elmore Lane and a stone track from the back lane; broadband is fast and the site lies outside flood zones despite proximity to the Severn and Gloucester & Sharpness Canal.
Important commercial considerations: residential use of the building is not currently lawful (a certificate of lawfulness was not achieved), and the sale is subject to an existing overage agreement — interpreted as 50% of uplift in value payable on achieving planning permission, lasting approximately 16 years. Gas is bottled; some rural access is via unsealed tracks and the property sits in a hamlet/isolated setting.
Overall, this is a substantial, private countryside holding with immediate equestrian capability and further potential for alternative uses pending consents. Buyers should allow for conversion consents and factor the overage and septic/bottled-gas arrangements into financial planning.
