This large freehold parcel on St John’s Avenue is being offered as a cleared development site with an indicative scheme for ten new homes. The site measures approximately 0.45–0.5 acres (very large plot) and benefits from direct access off adopted roads, established residential context and no reported flood risk — features that suit a small-to-medium scale housing scheme.
Acumen Designers & Architects have proposed a ten-unit development of modern three‑bedroom houses with private gardens, garages and parking. The illustrative scheme uses traditional materials (stone walls, concrete roof tiles, UPVC windows) and aligns with recent local approvals in Kirklees. A conservative comparator value of about £250,000 per unit has been used in the assessment, giving an indicative saleable area of c.10,550 sq ft and a notional GDV of around £2.5m (proposal only).
Important limitations: the current documentation describes an indicative proposal — planning application status is not specified and the scheme remains subject to formal planning, local policy negotiations and any S106 or infrastructure requirements. The plot is irregularly shaped and bounded by existing houses, which may constrain layout options and build logistics. Buyers should carry out their own due diligence on services, site surveys, and planning feasibility before committing.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — helpful for modern buyers — plus proximity to Newsome village amenities and several schools rated Good. The site represents a realistic development opportunity for a developer or investor prepared to advance a planning application and absorb normal development costs and planning risk.
