This freehold plot in East Keswick comes with full planning permission (Ref: 24/06032/FU) to build a contemporary one-bedroom detached home with off-street parking and a private garden. The approved scheme suits someone seeking a compact, low-maintenance home in a peaceful village setting, ready to personalise from the ground up.
The plot is large for the area and benefits from very low crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — practical strengths for everyday living and remote working. The village offers everyday amenities, community activities, and good schools nearby, while Leeds, Harrogate and Wetherby remain within easy commuting distance.
Buyers should note this is a plot sale: the property is unbuilt and requires construction, management of build costs and compliance with the approved plans. Internal room sizes are modest (approximately 635 sq ft total) and the scheme provides a single bedroom and compact living spaces, which may limit suitability for families or those needing significant storage.
For first-time buyers or downsizers comfortable overseeing a small new-build project, this represents a rare opportunity to deliver a bespoke home in an affluent village location. The combination of planning permission in place and a sizable plot reduces planning risk, but purchasers should budget for build costs, connection charges and contractor fees.
