Located in the rural village of Low Etherley the land spans approximately 0.41 acres and estate agents, Savills Rural Sales, describe it as a “self-contained development site”.
The plot has outline planning consent for the construction of up to four homes which was granted in August.
It is currently kept as part of the adjacent paddocks and is bordered by a timber fence and hedge on the southern and eastern sides.
The neighbour has plans to install a boundary to the western and northern sides.
To the rear of the plot, there are no immediate neighbours, just a paddock.
Potential buyers should be aware of the conditions attached to the planning consent.
One of these is a report on potential abnormal costs for drilling and grouting, with a budget estimate of £60,000.
