Summary - DEFFORD MOTORS, UPTON ROAD WR8 9BA
1 bed 1 bath Heavy Industrial
Large edge-of-village plot with PIP for seven detached homes and scenic views..
Approx. 0.64 acre (0.26 ha) redevelopment site
A substantial redevelopment site of approximately 0.64 acre (0.26 ha) on the edge of Defford village, formerly a garage/MOT centre with a three-bedroom flat and outbuildings. Planning in principle (Wychavon W/24/01612/PIP, granted September 2024) covers the potential for seven detached dwellings, making this a clear plot-for-housing opportunity for a developer or investor prepared to progress detailed consent and site works.
The existing assets include a detached brick building of about 2,447 sq ft (offices, stores and living accommodation), a detached former workshop/garage, mature gardens and road frontage. The site sits on the village outskirts with wide rear views toward Bredon Hill and is around 3 miles from Pershore, with good local amenities and primary schools nearby.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property will be sold at auction, tenure is unspecified, the buildings are unkempt and require modernization or demolition to realise redevelopment, and the site has a medium flood risk. The vendor’s statement confirms the site has not been inspected; purchasers will need to undertake full due diligence, surveys and obtain any further consents beyond the planning-in-principle.
This is suited to a developer or investor confident in taking a PIP site through detailed design, flood and site investigations, and refurbishment or clearance. The combination of plot size, village location and planning in principle offers clear potential, balanced by preparatory costs and auction-sale timelines.
