Spacious freehold land near York with road access and development potential.
Freehold paddock extending to approximately 1.96 acres (0.79 ha)
Adjacent to A64/A1237 — excellent road links, limited privacy
Access via private right of way off Hopgrove Lane South
No mains services connected; believed available nearby
Subject to 25‑year overage: 40% uplift if non‑agricultural consent
Lies within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone (NVZ)
Medium flood risk; site investigations recommended
Immediate use: grazing, hay, equestrian; development needs planning
A generous 1.96‑acre freehold paddock on the outskirts of York, offered as a clear, level grass parcel with practical vehicular access. Its position adjacent to the A64/A1237 provides easy road links to York, Leeds and surrounding towns, making the site suitable for grazing, hay production, small‑scale equestrian use or as a development/investment opportunity subject to planning.
Buyers should note key planning and environmental constraints: the land lies in a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone and an overage (clawback) applies for 25 years, reserving 40% of any uplift in value if planning permission is granted for non‑agricultural development. Mains services are not connected, although connections are believed available nearby; purchasers must verify service capacity and costs.
The parcel is accessed via a private right of way from Hopgrove Lane South and lies immediately next to a residential cul‑de‑sac with the dual carriageway forming two boundaries. This location gives excellent transport access but limits seclusion and may introduce roadside noise. Flooding risk is assessed as medium; further site investigations are recommended before committing to change of use or construction.
For purchasers seeking land with immediate practical utility or long‑term development potential, this site offers scale and proximity to York city centre (about 3 miles). It is best suited to buyers who understand rural land ownership obligations and the specific planning, environmental and overage constraints noted above.
