Summary - THE CHAPEL, WOODS TERRACE SR7 9AD
1 bed 1 bath Land
Planning in place for four modern three-bed townhouses; low entry price via auction..
Planning permission for four three-bed, three-storey homes
This cleared parcel in Murton offers a clear planning permission for four three-bedroom, three-storey townhouses — a compact, city-fringe development for an investor or small developer. Drainage infrastructure is already in place and fibre connectivity for all plots has been paid, reducing initial service costs. Allocated off-street parking and rear gardens are included in the approved layout.
The site is a short drive from Durham and Sunderland and within walking distance of Dalton Park Outlet and several well-rated primary and secondary schools. Good road links (A19) and excellent mobile and fast broadband speeds support rental or sales appeal for families and commuters. The approved design is modern townhouse stock aimed at local demand.
Important constraints and risks are factual: the site sits in a deprived, high-crime area; tenure is recorded as unknown; the plot will be sold at auction; and the agent has not inspected the site. These factors affect financing, insurance and resale value and should be investigated by buyers. Budget for local mitigation measures (security, landscaping) and confirm legal/title and tenure before bidding.
For the right buyer — one comfortable with auction purchase and local market dynamics — this is a low-entry-cost development opportunity with planning in place, basic services installed, and clear routes to complete build and sale or let. Expect to carry due diligence costs and mobilisation works before construction starts.
