A rare, fully serviced freehold plot on Sorchestun Lane offers a large, flexible development opportunity close to Derby. The site’s substantial size and existing services reduce initial infrastructure costs, making it suitable for a substantial family home or a small multi-room development subject to planning consent.
Chellaston blends a semi-rural village feel with excellent transport links to Rolls-Royce sites, East Midlands Airport and the A50 logistics corridor. Local amenities include supermarkets, traditional pubs and multiple well-rated primary and secondary schools within easy reach, appealing to both families and buy-to-let investors.
Practical considerations are clear: the plot sits in a city/major town setting with above-average local crime statistics, so any new development should factor security and boundary treatments into budgets. Planning permission and statutory consents will be required before building; buyers should commission surveys and consult the local authority early.
Offered at £300,000, this large, fully serviced plot provides a strong starting point for a bespoke new build or small development in a popular Derby suburb. The combination of size, services and location creates genuine potential, balanced by foreseeable costs for permissions, site security and construction.
