Summary - ST NICHOLAS HOUSE FRONT STREET HETTON LE HOLE HOUGHTON LE SPRING DH5 9HJ
1 bed 1 bath Land
Cleared town-centre plot with prior planning for specialist residential use.
Approximately 0.31 acres / c.13,504 sq ft level cleared site
A rare central-hetton development plot extending to approximately 0.31 acres (c. 13,504 sq ft), offered with vacant possession and available for freehold purchase. The site is level and cleared where the former St Nicholas Church stood; previous graves have been relocated and demolition waste removed. Full planning permission was previously granted for a 30-unit EMI care facility (now lapsed), giving a clear starting point for redevelopment or a strong precedent to support fresh applications.
This parcel suits developers or investors targeting specialist residential schemes, small sheltered housing, or a reconfigured apartment/house scheme (subject to planning). The plot sits in the town centre with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, close to shops, services and several primary schools rated Good. Additional adjacent land may be available by separate negotiation, increasing scope for a larger scheme.
Buyers should factor in local context: the area is in a deprived band with higher-than-average crime, and any proposal will require fresh planning consent. There is redevelopment opportunity but also the typical costs of site preparation, planning, and securing community and statutory approvals. Offers should account for these practical and policy risks as well as the site’s previously demonstrated planning potential.
