A rare backland parcel of approximately 0.14 acres (circa 6,098 sq ft) on the southern edge of Bath, accessed from Old Fosse Road in Odd Down. The plot offers a private, long and narrow footprint framed by terraced rear gardens — suitable as a substantial private garden, ancillary outbuildings or a single dwelling subject to planning. The setting combines residential streets with pleasant local views over rolling countryside.
Previous planning permission existed for a six-bedroom detached family home, but that consent has expired; any new build will require a fresh planning application. Buyers should factor in the planning process, potential site surveys and build costs. The site is offered as seen, with unmanaged grass and scrub currently covering the land.
Important financial considerations: before building work can begin there are fixed third-party fees of £42,500 payable to Persimmon and £42,500 payable to The Crown Estate. Prospective purchasers must make their own legal and planning enquiries; additional development costs and statutory requirements should be anticipated.
The plot is freehold, in a low-crime, very affluent area with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband potential. Its backland position gives privacy but also a restricted width and reliance on the existing access arrangements — a pragmatic option for an investor or buyer prepared to manage planning and access details.
