One-acre freehold parcel with past planning and development potential.
Approximately one acre of freehold pasture, fenced and private
This generous, freehold parcel of land of roughly one acre sits discreetly behind established homes at Bullcliff Grange, approached by a long shared driveway through mature woodland. Its open pasture and fenced boundary offer clear views, privacy and scope for landscaping, with meadow and woodland immediately adjacent. Mobile signal is excellent, though broadband speeds are very slow — important for modern working-from-home arrangements.
The site includes a previously consented stable barn conversion, so there is demonstrable development potential, but any buyer should note that the consent is historic and not guaranteed to remain valid. The land is sold via a Best and Final Offers method (closing date 24/07/2025) and carries a 30-year, 30% uplift clause on future residential or commercial development — a material long-term cost that excludes stables and agricultural buildings.
Practical considerations are straightforward: freehold tenure, no flood risk and easy access for vehicles, but the plot shares a right of way with a neighbouring equestrian property. The immediate area is very affluent and classified as prospering countryside life, with good primary schools nearby. This plot will suit a buyer seeking a rural investment or a development project who is comfortable managing planning, access arrangements and the uplift obligation.
Offers should reflect the site-specific constraints and the uplift covenant. For a purchaser able to navigate planning and accept the 30% uplift on future developed value, this land represents a rare, well-located one-acre opportunity within easy reach of Wakefield and surrounding villages.
