Large freehold plot with two period semis and redevelopment potential, sold at auction.
Pair of Victorian semi-detached houses (GIA 244 sq.m / 2,626 sq.ft)
A rare development plot in Stoke-on-Trent: two Victorian semi-detached houses (GIA 244 sq.m / 2,626 sq.ft) with extensive garden land totalling c.0.28 acres (approx. 12,197 sq.ft). The freehold site sits in an established, relatively affluent suburban area with low crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband—practical advantages for conversion, multi-unit redevelopment or alternative uses subject to planning.
The properties are characterful and date from before 1900, built in solid brick with traditional period features and double glazing (install date unknown). The houses appear partially overgrown and will require repair and refurbishment; walls likely lack insulation and modernisation of heating/electrical systems should be assumed. There is no flooding risk recorded, and mains gas/boiler heating is present.
This opportunity will be sold at auction and is also available via informal tender (date to be confirmed). The site’s size and layout offer scope for redevelopment or change of use, but any alternative use is subject to planning consent—no applications or approvals are included. Buyers should factor in planning risk, refurbishment costs and potential conservation constraints when assessing viability.
For investors or developers seeking a sizable brownfield opportunity close to local amenities and several primary and secondary schools, this plot offers clear potential. Practical next steps are a detailed survey, planning pre-application advice and budgeted refurbishment/insulation works prior to occupation or resale.
