A substantial freehold development parcel of approximately 3.08 ha (7.80 acres) situated off Estcourt Close, within easy reach of Gloucester city centre. The triangular, largely open field is bordered by mature trees and hedgerows, with a gated vehicular access from Estcourt Close and no known public rights of way. The site previously benefitted from planning consent for student accommodation, indicating scope for residential-led schemes subject to fresh approvals.
This plot will suit developers or investors seeking a large urban-edge site with strong local connectivity. Gloucester benefits from good road and rail links (M5 access and direct rail services to Bristol, Birmingham and London) and ongoing city-centre regeneration, including new education and mixed-use projects nearby — supportive context for new housing or institutional uses. Local amenities, schools (including high-performing state primary and secondary options) and the regenerated Docks/Quays area are all within short distance.
Important practical notes: services are understood to exist nearby but have not been tested — purchasers must verify availability and condition independently. Any future scheme is subject to planning; the previous consent for student accommodation does not guarantee new permissions. The land is offered freehold with vacant possession and a gated access in place.
This is a clear, large-scale blank canvas in a well-connected, affluent part of Gloucester — ideal for a bespoke development proposition but requiring planning input and utility due diligence before commitment.
