Huge 1.45-acre plot with 124' frontage and 523' depth
Outline planning for four 4-bed detached houses granted (ref: 24/01353/out)
Existing large 4-bed detached house plus substantial garage on site
Private access road and associated parking permitted under consent
Garden unmaintained; existing buildings likely need refurbishment or demolition
Solid brick walls assumed uninsulated; glazing double but install date unknown
Very slow broadband speeds despite excellent mobile signal
Council Tax Band F; nearby schools have mixed Ofsted ratings
This exceptionally large 1.45-acre plot on High Road, Fobbing presents a rare development opportunity with outline planning permission (ref: 24/01353/out) to remove the existing garage, create a private access road and build four 4-bedroom detached houses with garages, parking and landscaping. The site includes an existing detached 4-bedroom dwelling, substantial garage and a long road frontage, making it suitable for a small residential scheme or investor redevelopment.
The current bungalow/house sits within extensive grounds and offers generous internal space: spacious reception rooms, a large leisure room and a sizable garage. The plot’s dimensions (124' frontage, 523' depth narrowing to ~114') and suburban-rural setting suit buyers seeking privacy and scope for new build layouts. Flood risk is nil and mobile signal is excellent, supporting modern living and site management.
Notable drawbacks are practical and material: broadband speeds are very slow, the garden is unmaintained and the existing buildings will require refurbishment or demolition as set out in the planning consent. Walls are solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation; glazing is double but installation date is unknown. Council Tax is high (Band F) and some surrounding schools have mixed Ofsted ratings—factors to consider for owner-occupier purchasers.
This plot is aimed at developers or investors seeking a permitted small-scheme site in an affluent, comfortable suburbia setting. Purchasers should carry out full technical, services and viability checks, and factor in renovation/demolition costs and local planning conditions when calculating potential returns.
