Summary - Derwent Street, Blackhill, DH8 DH8 8LY
1 bed 1 bath Land
Freehold development site with strong commuter links and immediate possession.
0.65 acre brownfield plot in Blackhill, Consett
An unusually large 0.65-acre brownfield plot in Blackhill offering clear development potential. The site previously hosted a table mat factory (demolished) and formerly benefited from planning for more than 20 homes; permissions have lapsed but the footprint and history support a fresh planning approach. The freehold is offered with immediate possession, making it suitable for a developer or investor ready to progress a scheme.
The plot is largely visible from surrounding roads but is currently vacant and overgrown; on-site viewings are strictly by appointment. Practical advantages include no identified flood risk, excellent mobile signal, average broadband and direct commuter links to Durham (about 14 miles) and Newcastle (about 15 miles). Local amenities and several good-rated primary and secondary schools are within reach.
Buyers should note this is a formerly industrial brownfield site in a deprived area with ageing, working-class demographics. Previous planning has lapsed, so a purchaser must allow time and cost for new applications and any required site investigations or remediation. The site is sold freehold at a price of £290,000 and suits developers, investors or experienced buyers prepared to manage planning and potential groundworks.
