This is a level, rear building plot in Bishopsworth with full planning consent for a three-storey, three-bedroom detached house. The site measures approximately 426 m² and benefits from direct vehicular access onto King Georges Road, making site servicing and deliveries straightforward. A Gross Development Value (GDV) in the region of £400,000 is indicated, offering clear upside for builders, small developers and experienced self‑builders.
The planning permission (Application No. 24/03020/F) was granted 26 March 2025 and proposes a 104.4 m² dwelling with driveway, EV charging point, cycle store and rear garden. The existing single‑storey outbuildings/garage are dilapidated and will require demolition or substantial repair as part of the works; the consent specifically allows demolition of the garage. Completion is possible within six weeks of contract exchange, which suits buyers with ready funding or auction/bridging solutions.
Potential purchasers should note this lot is sold at auction with a preliminary deposit and an additional buyer’s premium payable on exchange. The local area is described as very deprived with above‑average crime rates; these social and market factors should be considered when assessing build specification and resale/rent expectations. The plot’s proximity to schools, retail parks and transport links to Bristol city centre and the airport supports marketability on completion.
This is a clear project opportunity for a buyer able to move quickly: the value drivers are the granted consent, decent plot size, direct rear access and EV provision. Material negatives are the site’s immediate condition (dilapidated outbuilding), the neighbourhood socioeconomic indicators and the auction sale terms (deposit and buyer’s premium) which require prepared funds.
