Large freehold plot with strong redevelopment potential for developers and investors.
Circa 0.28 acre plot with countryside outlook
A rare development site in an affluent edge-of‑town location, The Travellers Rest occupies circa 0.28 acre with a 2,500 sq ft Victorian brick building and pleasant rural outlook. The property is currently a vacant former pub with raised beer garden, patio and sloping lawn, offering clear scope for conversion or redevelopment subject to planning.
The site benefits from existing mains services and Use Class E (commercial), making a range of commercial or residential schemes conceivable. Possible outcomes include multiple flats, a pair of semi‑detached homes or a small terrace, each with private parking and gardens — subject to local planning consent.
Important constraints and costs to note: the building has fallen into disrepair and needs substantial renovation; no residential planning has been granted; a fixed overage of £100,000 applies if residential consent is obtained. Access is shared with neighbouring lots and a boundary maintenance right exists in favour of an adjacent property. VAT may be applicable on sale.
For developers, investors and speculators this site offers visible future uplift in an affluent rural‑fringe market, but it requires capital, planning risk appetite and allowance for repair, statutory consents and overage liability.
