This clear, freehold plot of approximately 252 sq.m (2,719 sq.ft) sits close to Annfield Plain town centre and comes with full planning permission (Ref: DM/23/03715/FPA) to deliver two three-bedroom semi-detached homes. The site is offered at a competitive guide price, making it an immediate, low-preparation opportunity for small-scale developers or investors.
The permission and existing modern semi-detached designs reduce lead-in time and enable a quick start to construction. The plot’s city/major town location offers convenient access to local amenities, public transport and basic services, supporting future rental or resale prospects once built.
Buyers should note local challenges: the wider area is classed as deprived with high crime levels and below-average educational attainment. These factors can affect sales values and lettings demand, so consider tenure strategy, specification and targeted marketing to secure returns.
Overall, the land is best suited to investors or developers seeking a short-path build project in a regenerating market. The combination of full planning, freehold tenure and low asking price creates a clear development proposition, provided purchasers factor local socio-economic constraints into budget and exit planning.
