Summary - 1, VICARAGE LANE, CLEATOR, ENNERDALE CA23 3BE
1 bed 1 bath Land
Substantial greenfield site with village location and planning potential.
Site area approximately 2.90 acres (1.17 hectares)
A rare 2.90-acre greenfield plot on the edge of Ennerdale Bridge, offering significant scope for residential development subject to planning consents. The site sits within the village settlement boundary and is accessed from the end of Vicarage Lane between existing homes, making it a practical prospect for a small scheme or a substantial single dwelling.
The land is largely open with scattered trees (no recorded Tree Preservation Orders) and borders woodland, delivering attractive rural outlooks and proximity to Ennerdale Water and the Western Fells. Utilities and services are typical of a remoter hamlet: mobile and broadband performance are average, and local amenities include a primary school, village inns and basic services in the nearby village.
Important considerations: planning permission is not in place and any residential development would require consents. The site is a greenfield parcel; tenure is stated as freehold but some sale details list tenure as unknown, so buyers should confirm legal title. Flood risk is rated medium in places, and purchasers should commission site-specific surveys (drainage, ecology, ground conditions) before proceeding.
For developers or investors seeking a sizeable parcel close to the Lake District boundary, this plot offers clear potential. The guide price reflects the need for planning and site investigations — its value will depend on the scale of consented development and the costs associated with servicing and mitigation works.
