This elevated 0.26-acre former quarry offers a ready development opportunity with full planning permission for an unrestricted three‑bedroom dwelling (Westmorland & Furness Council ref 21/0934, decision dated 18 Oct 2024). The site sits just off Black Bull Lane on the edge of Brough, with open views across the Eden Valley and Swindale Beck — a strong rural selling point for a finished home.
Roadside access and proximity to the A66 make the plot more accessible than many rural sites. Electricity and water are understood to be available nearby, but purchasers must confirm connections and comply with the planning conditions set out in the decision notice. The site is level and elevated, which supports buildability but will require adherence to the planning conditions.
Material factors to note: the land is a former quarry and may need specialist groundworks or foundation solutions, so allow budget for geotechnical surveys and any remediation. Flooding is classed as medium risk in the area, broadband speeds are slow and the wider area statistics show higher deprivation and an ageing rural population — factors that could affect long‑term resale or rental demand.
At the quoted price this plot represents a relatively low entry cost for a bespoke rural home or small development flip, particularly for buyers able to manage site works. It will suit purchasers seeking countryside views and a quiet village location who can address service connections, planning conditions and potential groundworks.
