Wharf Farm offers a rare light-industrial landholding of approximately 4.88 acres on the edge of Rugby, with immediate operational value and longer-term redevelopment potential. Around 0.845 acres of reinforced concrete hard-standing benefit from existing B1/B2 consent and a held waste transfer licence, supporting continued industrial or logistics use without delay. Two open shed footprints and a large flat yard provide immediate storage or refurbishment opportunity.
The site has been called into the Rugby Borough Local Plan (March 2025) as part of the Land East of Kilsby Lane allocation for c.125 dwellings, presenting a clear case for residential redevelopment subject to planning. Vehicular access and location are strong selling points—roughly 2 miles from Rugby town centre and within a short drive of the M1, M6 and M45 motorways—making the plot attractive to developers and operators alike.
Practical considerations are straightforward: freehold sale of part title WK422607, sale can be treated as a going concern, and a data room is available for due diligence. Broadband speeds are slow on-site and buildings are basic — the shed footprints will require refurbishment or reconstruction if retained. Buyers should allow for planning risk, site remediation if required, and change-of-use costs where residential permission is pursued.
This opportunity suits investors, developers and operators looking for a strategically placed mixed-use site with immediate industrial utility and a documented path to residential allocation. The property’s scale and road links create options for phased change of use or a single comprehensive project.
