A prominent, easily accessible 1.45-acre freehold site fronting Eye Road, positioned at a major local roundabout and surrounded by established roadside operators including KFC and an Esso petrol station. The plot benefits from strong vehicle visibility and direct access from the service road to Peterborough Retail Park and nearby Aldi, making it well suited to roadside commercial formats.
The site has historically held consent for a hotel and is considered suitable for a variety of commercial uses, including potential drive-thru operators (all subject to planning). Excellent regional transport links — East Coast Mainline services to London, proximity to the A1(M) and multiple arterial routes — enhance occupier appeal for national operators and investors targeting high-traffic trade locations.
Buyers should note material considerations: any new use requires planning permission, and interested parties must make their own enquiries. The local area shows relative deprivation and the immediate neighbourhood is predominantly commercial and roadside in character rather than residential amenity. VAT will be charged on the sale and each party must meet their own legal costs; anti-money laundering ID and proof of funds checks will be required.
In short, the site offers a rare, large roadside development plot with strong access and operator adjacency — a clear opportunity for developers or investors able to progress planning and deliver a roadside commercial scheme.
