This large, freehold parcel of land of approximately 3.08 ha (7.80 acres) sits off Estcourt Close in a popular residential area of Gloucester and offers a clear development opportunity. The triangular site is largely open and fenced, with mature trees and hedgerows to boundaries, and a gated vehicular access from Estcourt Close. The site previously benefited from consent for student accommodation, indicating potential for residential schemes subject to renewed planning approval.
Location and connectivity are genuine strengths: the site is about 1.5 miles from Gloucester city centre with direct rail links to Bristol, Birmingham and London, and easy access to the M5. The surrounding area is described as affluent and low-crime, with nearby schools (including outstanding-rated primary provision) and growing regeneration in the city centre that supports demand for housing or institutional uses.
Key practical considerations are straightforward and should inform budgets and programming. Services are understood to be available in the locality but have not been tested on site — purchasers must verify connections and capacities. Any development will be subject to planning; while consent was previously granted for student accommodation, a fresh application may be required for alternative uses. The land is offered freehold with vacant possession; conditional and unconditional offers will be considered by the seller by the stated deadline.
This site will appeal to developers, investors or institutional buyers targeting Gloucester’s expanding residential and student markets. It offers scale and a deliverable access point but requires proactive due diligence on services, planning scope and any site-preparation costs.
