Total freehold site of approx. 2.11 acres (0.38 acre development + 1.73 acre paddock)
Mains water and electricity on site but may need upgrading for residential use
Private communal drainage system in place; management charge £60 pcm (£720 pa)
One small parcel unregistered; adverse possession claim in progress to regularise title
Medium flood risk — remedial/resilience measures likely required
Good broadband speeds, low crime, rural lakeside setting suitable for equestrian use
Access and parking deliverable; further on‑site works/renovation required
This rare 2.11‑acre freehold lot in Upton Warren comes with planning permission to convert a commercial workshop into two single‑storey, 1,450 sqft dwellings (W/25/00728/GPMAE). The site combines immediate residential curtilage (approx. 0.38 acre) with about 1.73 acres of paddock, offering both immediate dwelling potential and wider agricultural or amenity uses such as equestrian or hobby farming.
The proposed layout provides efficient single‑floor three‑bed homes with open‑plan living, en‑suite to the principal bedroom, utility and separate WC — suited to families or rental buyers. Mains electricity and water are present but may require upgrading for new residential use; a communal private drainage system is already on site and is maintained by a management company (currently £60 pcm / £720 pa).
Strengths include the substantial plot, clear planning consent for two dwellings, on‑site parking provision and attractive rural/lakeside setting with good broadband speeds. Practical points you should note: the site sits in a medium flood‑risk area; the property currently spans three freehold titles and one small parcel is unregistered (adverse possession claim underway); services and drainage works will likely be required to meet building regulations.
This is a development‑led opportunity for an investor or buyer seeking countryside privacy with development upside. Buyers should budget for service upgrades, drainage connections and the legal work to regularise title. Plans for a larger single dwelling were prepared but not submitted, offering alternative scope subject to further consent.
