This cleared 1.48-acre parcel at the former Harrop Mill benefits from full planning permission to deliver 13 new houses, making it a rare near-ready residential development opportunity in attractive countryside surroundings. The site is largely open with remnant hardstanding, bordered by mature trees and rising pastureland that will give many plots appealing rural outlooks.
The consent includes re-routing the rear stream, removing a common technical constraint and simplifying the delivery of the approved scheme. The land slopes from north to south and contains some shallow banks and embankments at boundaries, which will influence layout, drainage and earthworks costs. The mill has been demolished; there are no internal buildings of note.
Local infrastructure and services are favourable — very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband in an affluent area — but buyers should allow budget for on-site infrastructure and utility connections. Tenure is currently unknown and prospective purchasers should verify ownership and any associated obligations before exchange.
Positioned close to good primary schools and local amenities within a prospering rural community, the site will suit developer-investors or housebuilders seeking a modest-scale, countryside residential scheme that is permitted and largely cleared for immediate progression. Material considerations include topography, drainage works, and the technical and cost implications of delivering services and landscaping to the approved layout.
