Freehold site extending to c.0.76 acres (0.31 ha)
No affordable housing requirement under current approval
Tudor-style building present; roof issues and general disrepair
Very large plot with strong redevelopment potential
Vendor preference for unconditional bids via tender pro-forma
Area classified as deprived — may affect local sales values
Average broadband and mobile signal; no flood risk recorded
A substantial development site in Donisthorpe with Reserved Matters Approval for demolition of the existing public house and erection of 11 dwellings. The 0.76-acre (0.31ha) freehold plot offers scope for a private residential scheme without an affordable housing requirement, making it attractive for speculative developers or housebuilders seeking a village location with countryside outlooks.
The site includes a Tudor-style building with exposed timber frames that will require significant refurbishment or demolition; roof issues and general disrepair are evident. Grounds are extensive but untended, so landscaping and clearance works will be needed before construction or conversion.
Practical considerations: the vendor prefers unconditional bids and encourages offers via a tender pro-forma. Broadband and mobile signals are average, there is no flood risk, and local amenities and Good-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby. The surrounding area is classified as rural and the wider area shows some deprivation, which may influence sale values and local demand.
This opportunity suits developers or investors able to manage upfront site works and navigate local planning conditions. It provides clear development upside through a granted reserved matters approval, but purchasers should allow budget and time for building repairs, site preparation, and potential local planning conditions or requirements.
