A rare development opportunity on High Street, Sharnbrook, with full planning permission (ref 24/00378/FUL) to demolish existing stables and build two detached, barn-styled executive homes. Each plot is large and generous in size (Plot 1: 2,315 sq ft; Plot 2: 2,326 sq ft), with water and electric already connected to the site and mains drainage running alongside for straightforward connection. The setting is a quiet small-town fringe with very low crime, excellent mobile signal, and attractive local primary schools nearby.
This is a freehold plot being sold by the Modern Method of Auction. The purchase requires completion within a 56-day Reservation Period and payment of a non-refundable Reservation Fee equal to 4.5% of the purchase price (minimum £6,600 including VAT). A Buyer Information Pack (fee £349 inc. VAT) must be viewed prior to bidding. CIL liability applies to the development and will be a material cost to include in development appraisals.
The plots suit developers, investor-builders or owner-occupiers looking to create two high-spec homes in a desirable, affluent village setting. Practical factors to note: broadband speeds are slow at the site, mains drainage is adjacent (not yet connected), and the sale process incurs auction-related fees and timelines that are binding. Planning documents should be reviewed in full before bidding to confirm conditions and obligations.
This opportunity combines clear planning consent and utility access with a fast completion requirement and known fees. For a buyer who has funding in place and understands the Modern Method of Auction, the site offers fast-track development potential in a well-regarded village location.
