A rare freehold building plot in the heart of Low Fell, offered with planning permission for a substantial three‑storey family house of approximately 180 sq m. The approved design provides five bedrooms, four bathrooms, an attached garage, and front and rear gardens — a layout aimed squarely at growing families who want space and long‑term value in a well‑connected neighbourhood.
The site currently comprises seven lock‑up garages providing a reported short‑term rental income of £9,240pa; vacant possession can be obtained with one month’s notice if required. Vehicular access is from Earls Drive and there appears to be a shared right of way over the lane — prospective buyers must verify access and boundary extents and satisfy themselves on services, as no formal service searches have been carried out.
Planning permission (Gateshead MBC ref DC/22/01257/FUL dated 5 Sept 2024) is granted for demolition of the garages and erection of one dwelling. A key condition is that development must commence within three years of the permission date. The plot will be sold by online auction; bidding starts at the guide price and the successful buyer pays an administration fee and must allow for a confidential reserve price which may be higher.
Practical points: the plot is large (approx. 0.13 acres) in a comfortable, affluent neighbourhood with fast broadband predictions and average mobile coverage. Notable negatives include above‑average local crime statistics, the need to demolish existing garages, and legal checks required on shared access and services before purchase.
