- Freehold ownership with secure gated access and off‑street parking

A substantial brownfield development opportunity on Canal Lane, Hose, offering strong gross development value across approximately 10.4 acres. The site includes a 52,000 sqft former steel fabrication warehouse with high (10m) eaves, multiple overhead cranes and a two‑storey office block — providing immediate industrial accommodation or conversion potential. Outline planning has been sought/granted for 128 dwellings alongside commercial and retail space, creating a clear mixed‑use redevelopment case close to Melton Mowbray’s growing catchment.
The location benefits from proximity to the new Melton Distributor Road and good strategic links to the A46 and East Midlands transport nodes, supporting housing and commercial demand. The plot’s size and layout allow for flexible masterplanning — residential-led schemes, apartments above retail, or retained industrial/commercial plots are all plausible. The freehold tenure and secure gated access with off‑street parking simplify site control and logistics during delivery.
Buyers should factor in brownfield constraints: previous industrial use means potential remediation, utilities upgrades and demolition/strip-out costs. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal only average, which may influence occupier mix and infrastructure budgets. Outline planning status should be reviewed closely to confirm conditions and any remaining approvals required before detailed consent and construction.
