This 3.85-acre riverside site in Wylam offers a rare development or investment opportunity within a highly desirable village setting. The linear, mostly flat platform includes a bungalow to the west, an existing plant nursery at centre and two former fishing lakes to the east, creating multiple options for reuse, redevelopment or a single bespoke residence framed by mature trees and hedgerows.
The plot benefits from excellent road and rail connections — Wylam station is a short ride to Newcastle (approx. 15 minutes) — and is close to everyday amenities, cafes and health facilities. Its riverside position and attractive landscape setting make it appealing for residential, mixed-use or specialist agricultural/commercial redevelopment, subject to planning.
Buyers should note material constraints: the site is partly brownfield, tenure is listed as unknown, and there is a medium flooding risk along the river frontage. Broadband speeds are slow and the site’s linear shape and existing uses (bungalow, nursery, former lakes) will influence design and planning approaches. Professional surveys and pre-application planning advice are recommended.
For the right purchaser — developer, investor or private buyer seeking a high-quality riverside plot — this parcel offers scale, location and strong connectivity in a very affluent, well-served village environment. The setting provides potential for significant uplift, but realistic budgets must allow for remediation, planning and flood risk mitigation.
