A rare riverside development parcel in central Colchester with full planning consent for 20 private homes. The scheme includes restoration of a Grade II listed Granary Barn and benefits from an extant start on site, with limited foundations poured to preserve the consent. The site extends to approximately 0.88 acres (0.37 hectares) and sits under half a mile from the city centre, providing direct access to local amenities, transport links and riverside walks.
This opportunity is best suited to a developer or investor able to manage a sensitive listed-building restoration and brownfield remediation. The approved layout provides a total gross floor area of 23,476 sqft and new vehicular access from East Street, plus a secondary pedestrian/cycle entrance to the south via the Wivenhoe Trail (National Cycle Route). There is no adopted CIL for Colchester City Council, and the site is offered freehold with vacant possession.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Granary Barn’s listed status will require specialist conservation works and may limit design flexibility; the site is largely overgrown brownfield land with areas of hardstanding and will need remediation and site preparation. The immediate area shows signs of higher crime and local deprivation, and the sale is subject to existing rights of way, easements and a VAT charge on the purchase price. Offers are invited by informal tender; joint ventures will be considered.
