Summary - Wheatley Hill, Durham, DH6 DH6 3QS
1 bed 1 bath Land
Large versatile plot near Durham for redevelopment or operational use.
Approximately 4.3 acres of land with expansive, rural views
Greenhills Farm is a substantial, flexible development site extending to approximately 4.3 acres on the edge of Wheatley Hill. The land comes with full planning permission for a single executive dwelling (Durham County Council ref DM/18/00540/FPA) and foundations already in place, reducing upfront preparation for that specific scheme. On-site assets include a large plane hangar, a partially completed restaurant with airfield views and a temporary chalet, offering immediate commercial or operational uses while longer-term plans are progressed.
The plot’s scale and current use as an airstrip mean the site could suit a range of outcomes, subject to planning: complete the consented dwelling, adapt buildings for commercial or leisure uses, or retain as an operational airfield. The location sits around 10 miles from Durham city centre, adjacent to Thornley Station Industrial Estate and close to small residential development, providing useful local links for future occupants or customers. Mobile signal is excellent, and flood risk is low.
Prospective buyers should note material constraints: broadband speeds are very slow, the surrounding area records above-average crime and is classified as very deprived, and several on-site structures are incomplete or temporary and will need investment. The existing planning consent is for one dwelling only; any change of use or additional development would require fresh permissions. The site is offered with vacant possession and sold freehold.
