A substantial 1.5-acre site in Markfield with outline planning for four dwellings, offering clear development potential for builders, smallholders or an investor-led conversion. The existing detached three-bedroom house sits within the grounds but requires significant renovation throughout; it currently provides basic accommodation (kitchen, utility, sitting room, three bedrooms, bathroom) and several outbuildings that could be repurposed or cleared.
Outline planning permission (Hinckley & Bosworth BC, ref: 24/00040/OUT) allows for up to four dwellings with gross external areas totalling the equivalent of c.4,874 sq ft, creating scope for a mix of home types and value uplift subject to reserved matters. The site is level, accessed off Shaw Lane, and benefits from off-street parking and mains services available in the road (buyers should verify connections).
The location is a commuter-friendly rural setting: the A511 and M1 (c.3 miles) give good road links to Leicester, Nottingham and Birmingham, while local amenities include a primary school and village pub. Practical considerations: broadband speeds are slow, recorded local crime levels are above average and the existing dwelling will need extensive modernisation or demolition to realise the planning yield. Vendors sell freehold with vacant possession; no flood risk is recorded.
