A substantial 6.33-acre (2.56 ha) mixed grassland and woodland site on the edge of High Harrington with planning consent for up to 11 dwellings — two to be delivered as affordable units. The plot benefits from generous scale, pleasant rural outlooks and established access from the neighbouring cul-de-sac of Little Croft, making it suited to a small housing development or a phased build-out.
Practical advantages include mains gas, electric, water and sewage located adjacent to the site and additional drainage pipework already installed for surface water collection. Planning consent (VAR/2020/0505, Allerdale Council) was approved on 4 August 2021 and communications with the council indicate implementation is assumed; however, purchasers should verify the current planning status and any outstanding conditions before bidding.
The site is offered freehold with vacant possession and will be sold at auction, chain free. Buyers must be aware the sale is subject to existing rights, easements and restrictive covenants affecting the land; these are not unusual for development sites but will need to be considered in any development appraisal. The purchaser will also need to comply with Money Laundering Regulations checks prior to the auction.
This opportunity suits developers or investors looking for a countryside site with immediate development potential and good external services. The requirement to provide two affordable dwellings and to check easements, planning implementation and service connections are the main practical considerations for any purchase.
