Summary - RODRIDGE COTTAGE FARM, WINGATE, STATION TOWN TS28 5EP
1 bed 1 bath Land
Large semi-rural plot with proven planning potential close to A19 and local schools.
Outline planning granted in 2019 for nine detached family homes (now lapsed)
A rare development parcel in the semi-rural village of Station Town, just under two miles from Wingate. The site extends to roughly 0.9 acres (very large) and previously received outline planning for nine detached family homes in 2019 (Durham City Council ref: DM/17/02687/OUT). That permission has lapsed; because outline consent was previously granted, a similar scheme and layout may be re-approved but there is no guarantee.
The location offers good road links (close to the A19 corridor), nearby village amenities and several well-rated primary and secondary schools within a short drive. The land has no recorded flood risk and benefits from excellent mobile signal, making it attractive for family housing or an investor-led new-build project. The site includes existing farm buildings and a modern-barn character that could inform a sympathetic scheme.
Notable constraints: the previous planning has lapsed and tenure is unspecified, so buyers should confirm ownership and submission requirements before committing. Broadband speeds are slow in the immediate area and the local neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime and very high area deprivation — factors that could affect marketing, sales values and design approach. The vendor is offering the land at £500,000.
For a developer or investor the parcel presents clear potential: an already proven planning principle, strong site size for nine detached houses, and convenient A19 access. Budget for planning resubmission costs, potential site remediation, and a local marketing strategy tailored to the settlement’s profile.
