A rare, very large freehold parcel just outside Bedford, offered at public auction. The level plot sits opposite residential homes with farmland to the rear, and measures approximately half an acre (about 21,780 sq ft). It has been in long family ownership and now presents as an overgrown blank canvas with road frontage and established tree cover.
This is a straightforward acquisition for an investor or developer comfortable with site clearance and boundary reinstatement. The plot shows clear development potential subject to planning; interested buyers should treat it as a land opportunity rather than a ready-to-build plot. Services are not confirmed and must be independently verified with local authorities.
Important sale terms: the lot will be sold at public auction on 22 October 2025, with no pre-auction offers accepted. VAT is not applicable; there is no buyer’s premium, but purchasers must pay an administration fee of £1,500 (inc. VAT) and any disbursements noted in the legal pack. Viewings are permitted at any daylight hour.
Practical points you should consider: the plot is heavily overgrown with self-seeded scrub, saplings and trees; boundary lines and the entrance are obscured or lost and will require reinstatement. Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal. Flood risk is nil and the area is affluent with very low crime, making the site attractive for a range of end uses pending planning permission.
