A cleared residential plot on Rathmell Road offering a straightforward infill opportunity in an established Leeds neighbourhood. The site previously contained a semi‑detached house and now presents as an overgrown, level parcel suitable for a single new dwelling, subject to planning permission.
This is aimed at investors, self‑builders or speculative buyers able to manage the planning process. There is scope to reinstate a dwelling or redesign the footprint to meet modern requirements; surrounding housing and access from the road make redevelopment practicable. No planning consent is in place, so buy with the expectation that planning and statutory consents will be required.
Be realistic about the site’s context and condition: the plot needs clearance, waste removal and basic site preparation before any construction can begin. The wider area shows signs of social and economic challenge — crime levels are above average and the neighbourhood is classified as very deprived — factors that will affect end values and lettability.
For the right purchaser this plot is a low‑price entry into the LS15 market with clear upside if planning is secured and an appropriate scheme is delivered. Due diligence on site boundaries, services, and local planning history is recommended prior to offer.
