Rare 1.29-acre Halifax site with a Victorian house and housing allocation, suited for developers.
Allocated on Calderdale UDP as a housing site
An uncommon land-and-house opportunity on Claremount Road, offered freehold on a substantial 1.29-acre plot. The site is allocated as a housing site on the Calderdale UDP and sits in an elevated residential location with far-reaching views over Halifax—appealing to developers and buyers seeking scope for new-build value.
The existing property is an imposing stone-built Victorian detached house with four bedrooms, high ceilings and original features. It includes three reception rooms, two lean-to conservatory structures, a large detached garage and a generous front garden. The house may suit a conversion/refurbishment project or could be demolished to expand developable land.
No planning consent currently exists, though the owners have had preliminary plans drawn for 14 dwellings and are seeking to enter an Option Agreement with a developer/builder. This land therefore offers clear development potential but will require formal planning, design work and agreement on an option or purchase structure.
Practical considerations: the site is freehold and outside flood risk, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. The area has good commuter links and local schools, but purchasers should note higher local crime levels and that planning, demolition, and infrastructure costs have not been secured or included.
