This 0.77-acre, two-plot site in Dalton offers a ready development opportunity with full planning permission (Ref: ZD23/00217/FULL, granted 7 Aug 2024) for two dwellings, associated parking and gardens, and conversion of an existing barn. Plot 1 includes a 0.45-acre paddock and the larger dwelling footprint; Plot 2 includes a detached annex barn. The permission must be implemented within three years of the decision.
Mains drainage, water and electricity are available nearby for connection, and the site is sold freehold with vacant possession. The village setting sits within attractive Teesdale countryside and enjoys very low crime rates, good nearby schools and straightforward road links to Richmond, Barnard Castle and the A66/A1(M), making the plots appealing to developers or buyers seeking spacious rural homes.
Practical considerations: services are not yet connected, and the permission requires timely commencement. Broadband speeds are very slow and the location is classified as a remoter agricultural community, which may limit appeal for occupiers needing fast connectivity. Purchasers should also note the sale is subject to any existing wayleaves, easements and rights of way.
Overall, the site provides clear development value: sizeable building footprints, an included paddock and an existing barn for conversion, set in a peaceful rural location with planning in place. It suits buyers with development experience or investors seeking a permitted rural build project, provided they factor in utility connections, rural broadband limits and the three-year start condition.
